The Falling Water River earns its name here, dropping over the Cascades, Pipeline Falls and Middle Falls before Burgess Falls takes it over a broad rock brink and down into the gorge. From 1924 to 1944 a dam and powerhouse on the river made electricity for Cookeville, and remnants of that works still stand in the park. The state protected the land as a natural area in 1971 and opened it as a state park near Sparta in 1975.

The design: Burgess Falls fanning wide down stacked rock ledges into a green pool, seen from the gorge-rim overlook in spring high water, drawn in a flat vintage park-poster style inside a Tri-Star red frame, with BURGESS FALLS up top, TENNESSEE PRIDE® below and the Tri-Star on the left sleeve.

Printed on the Bella+Canvas 3001: soft, lightweight, with just the right amount of stretch.

• 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors contain polyester)
• Fabric weight: 4.2 oz./yd.² (142 g/m²)

Every park design is an illustration in a vintage poster style. We simplify each scene to make a good poster, so it won't match the park detail for detail. Colors can also look a little different in person than on your screen.

About the place

Burgess Falls State Park

Burgess Falls State Park follows the Falling Water River as it descends about 250 feet in less than a mile, each fall bigger than the last, and ends with a drop of more than 130 feet into a limestone gorge. The falls are named for Tom Burgess, whose family ran a gristmill and sawmill above them. In the early 1920s the city of Cookeville dammed the river to make electricity, and the plant ran until 1944; the state made the land a natural area in the early 1970s and opened the park in 1975.
