This Location
Although the park is named for the higher falls, Cane Creek Falls has the largest volume of water in the park and is responsible for carving the impressive gorge that resulted in all of the other falls. Cane Creek Falls may be viewed from two overlooks—one near the Nature Center and the other across the swinging bridge—or by taking the cable trail down to the base of the falls.
Bledsoe County and the Sequatchie Valley
The first settlers entered the Sequatchie Valley in the late 1700s through Bledsoe County, named for Anthony Bledsoe, a Revolutionary War patriot who migrated to Tennessee from Virginia and was later killed in an Indian attack. With stories of family feuds, moonshine wars, and Civil War conflict, the area’s rich history resulted in the nickname “Bloody Bledsoe” a century ago. Today, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, friendly people, and unique landscapes you will encounter.
