Burgess Falls State Park

Burgess Falls State Park is 12 mi. n.w. to 4000 Burgess Falls Dr. On the Falling Water River, the park is known for the scenic beauty of its four waterfalls, the last of which plunges more than 130 feet into a gorge. A moderately strenuous 1.5-mi. hike follows the falls. Birding, fishing and wildlife and wildflower viewing are also popular. A butterfly garden is located next to the parking area.

Note: There is no gorge access; the metal staircase to the base of the falls is inaccessible and remains closed. Overlook is available (weather permitting).

Picnicking is permitted.
