Lost Creek Falls and Cave | Sparta, Tn | Tennessee Waterfalls
Another favorite Tennessee Waterfall for us is Lost Creek Falls. It was formerly private property that the locals knew about for many years.
In 2012, Lost Creek State Natural Area was obtained by the public thanks to the generosity of James and Lillian Rylander, and their family.
Mr. Rylander put this area in his will, that upon his death, it would be transferred to the State, for the area’s protection and its enjoyment by the public. We are very thankful for this incredible gift.
Located in a 100 ft. wide sinkhole the falls is seen on one side, and the cave entrance is on the other. About a mile into the cave is the 2nd waterfall.
Lost Creek SNA is definitely worth a day trip to Sparta, Tn.
Please remember to pack out what you pack in :D

My favorite cave of all, been there 4 times, I love this cave, the side passage called the pits is awesome but don't slip on the rim

It is so much fun! I think this last time, about a month ago, with the Ranger led hike made our 3rd or 4th time. We learned a couple of new things going in with the Rangers. We love this cave also! :D
Wonderful!

Hi friends. This is incredible. The waterfall in the cave? WOW! I have never seen anything like that before (except in The Goonies). This was such a cool adventure.

Virgin Falls is a tough hike. We have tent camped right next to the falls. ~Scotty
I love the waterfalls but no way will I go in a cave. I'll enjoy the cool air blowing out the cave. Lol

Hey guys! We love finding all of the great adventures :D
If you didn't know. There is an easier way under the falls. At 7.25 you are standing on the entrance. It is very easy to shoot in and walk straight to the falls.

Yes! We did a Ranger led hike about a month ago, and they took us that way. We had always crawled over all of the breakdown rubble before 😁 Thanks for sharing. We might not have known.

This is really easy to explore since you dont have to hike far. The cave is only open from May 1 to August 31 because of white nose syndrone.
Beautiful adventure !

I am ok as long as i can stand up but i do get claustrophobic when i have to crawl. This is one of our favorite waterfalls to explore. The weather was perfect the day we visited Lost Creek Falls. ~Scotty
Gorgeous how’s the snake population out there
Lost Creek Cave is not 7 miles long. It is about 3. All of the caves combined to make up the lost creek system may add up to 7 miles. Where are your helmets? You need your hands to cave so a helmet mounted light is needed.
Hey, we recently hiked to Lost Creek Falls in WI!! 😀 But there was no cave.... 😟 Caves are a little creepy, but very cool! Wow! Love the cave waterfall... Great video, guys!!

We are discovering that there are a lot of similarly named waterfalls all across this country. Lol But everyone of them have their own unique beauty. They are a little creepy, but this cave is amazing! I think y'all would like it. It is a great big open space inside.

Used to be able to go without asking the state for permission.
About how far back in the cave was the waterfall?? We went today!
