The Secret Waterfalls In Tennessee That Most People Don’t Know About
Tennessee is chock full of waterfalls, filled to the brim with gushing creeks and rivers and lakes.

We recently discovered that the Machine Falls Loop in Tullahoma, Tennessee hides a whole handful of unknown waterfalls along its route, and we couldn’t wait to learn more. Check it out!
