Fall Creek 100 takes a tour of Fall Creek Falls, one of the biggest and most visited parks in Tennessee. All distances take a suspension bridge over Cane Creek Falls, go by Milikan's Overlook, take another suspension bridge over Piney Creek Falls, go by the overlook for the 256-foot namesake of the park (and within 40 yards of two more waterfalls), and finally spend 4 miles running right along the shoreline of Fall Creek Falls Lake. It's a really wonderful park that's a lot of fun to run in. Pine forest; mossy, fern-lined tracks running along creeks; bridges; gentle, chill trail...it's really cool. We've included as much as we can on the course.
