Ozone Falls
Ozone Falls plunges roughly 110 feet over a sandstone cap rock into a deep pool along Fall Creek in Cumberland County, just south of US-70. A short, rugged trail descends into the gorge to the base; the falls appeared in the 1994 film 'The Jungle Book.'
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Ozone Falls State Natural Area (TN State Parks) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ozone Falls drops about 110 feet. That makes it the 176th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 74% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Ozone Falls Trail (to base of falls) reaches it about 0.6 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 121 feet of elevation gain, rated moderate. The nearest town is Crab Orchard. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Ozone Falls State Natural Area (TN State Parks) for closures and current conditions.
Spring (high flow). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
