Virgin Falls State Natural Area

Virgin Falls State Natural Area. 2080 Scotts Gulf Road, Sparta. 9.0 miles round trip rated strenuous. Joint hike with the Highland Rim chapter. The trail descends around 900 foot in elevation along a path that in many areas is rocky with uneven footing. Because this trail is rugged, we will allow 6-7 hours for this hike and will have to maintain a pace to allow plenty of daylight. Virgin Falls State Natural Area is the most-visited state natural area in Tennessee with interesting scenery and features three beautiful waterfalls Big Laurel Falls, Sheep Cave Falls and Virgin Falls. Bring water, lunch, and wear sturdy hiking boots. You must be FULLY VACCINATED to attend this hike. For more information or to sign up, contact Sara Pollard at 615-714-3610 or sarabpollard@gmail.com.
