Virgin Falls State Natural Area
Virgin Falls is located in White County, Tennessee, and is adjacent to Bridgestone/Firestone Centennial Wilderness.
The 1,133-acre natural area is features an underground stream that emerges from a cave, then drops over a 110-foot high cliff before it disappears again in another cave. There are also other falls and caves in the area.
The Caney Fork River runs through the area, as well, creating a gorge that provides sweeping views of Scott's Gulf.
