Multi-tiered cascades plunging through the Cumberland Plateau make Burgess Falls a dramatic waterscape. Photograph three main falls from wooded overlooks and riverside viewpoints; flows are most photogenic after rain. Visit at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light and reduced crowds. Trails include stairs to overlooks—upper and middle falls are easily accessible, lower falls require steeper paths. Free parking near the visitor area; expect moderate crowds on weekends. Respect park rules;
