Lower Piney Falls

Lower Piney Falls is a waterfall in Tennessee's Piney Falls Designated State Natural Area, about 3 miles from the town of Spring City. It sits just a tenth of a mile from the Piney Falls hike, so the two pair naturally on a single outing. Autumn tends to be the most comfortable time to visit, with typical October highs around 71°F and lows near 45°F, according to averages from a nearby weather station in Spring City. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the falls, so temperatures at the waterfall usually run a bit cooler. September and October also average the fewest wet days of the year. Beyond the Piney Falls hike, the Twin Rocks Overlook Spur lies about 1.3 miles away, and Soak Creek, a canoeing run, is roughly 2.3 miles off. For an overnight stay, Shelter Cove Marina & Campground is about 8 miles away.
