You certainly don’t have to live here to enjoy these beautiful mountains, so come on up! The waterfalls and sunsets are a photographers dream! But of course you don’t have to take pictures to just come and see for yourself the beauty of the natural surroundings. While there are many areas to see, large and small these are a few that really hit all the high points for overlooks and views.
Welch Point in White County is easy to get to and offers the views of Scott’s Gulf. You can enjoy the views across the Caney Fork River Valley.
Black Mountain Rocks is located in the Cumberland Trail State Park in Cumberland County. It overlooks (2) giant sinkholes, including Grassy Cove, North America’s largest sinkhole by volume.

Pogue Creek Overlook is in Pickett County and is located in a State Natural Area.. This area has sandstone cliffs and rock shelters with rock and mineral formations.
Martha’s Pretty Point is also in White County at Virgin Falls State Natural Area. If you are hiker, you will love this one!
