The Jenga Area is a bouldering area within the Laurel Snow Pocket Designated State Natural Area in Tennessee, managed by State Park and Recreation. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Laurel Falls just 0.1 mile away and Western Gold Boulder 0.2 mile off, so it works well as part of a day spent exploring the surrounding crags. The area holds 11 bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale. The hardest is Jenga at V11, and the easiest runs V3-4. Other routes include The Good Arete, Poke Smot and Pillar, with grades from V5-6 to V8. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 71°F with lows near 47°F, and April is similar. That station sits about 700 feet lower than the area, so temperatures here run cooler. Nearby, the CT_Laurel Falls Trail and CT_Snow Falls Trail are both about 1.1 mile away. Paddlers can head to Morgan Creek, roughly 1.7 miles off, and the Dayton Walking Track is about 5 miles away.
