Rock Island State Park, located in central Tennessee, came recommended to me by locals, and features two notable waterfalls: Great Falls (20 feet tall but impressively wide) and Twin Falls (80 feet tall and also considerably wide).
Of the 3 Tennessee state parks I visited in 2023, Fall Creek Falls State Park was my overall favorite! The multiple waterfalls were great, of course, culminating in the 256 feet main waterfall, but the hiking trails, landscape views and swinging bridge along the way were the perfect compliment to the experience.
Burgess Falls, from start to finish, is a beautiful state park in Sparta, Tennessee, known for its ridiculously beautiful 136 foot waterfall.

I forget how I first overheard something about “Beale Street” in Memphis — I believe it was in 2022 while hanging out in Nashville. It drew comparisons to Nashville’s strip of live music spots on Broadway and I had to know more. There are few things I adore more than live music, especially in unique venues.
And admittedly, the thought of Memphis-style BBQ, Graceland, Tennessee’s beautiful nature, and a good old-fashioned road trip also caught my attention.
