Where the Waterfalls Are
Manchester sits in or near the Highland Rim and Central Basin Edge area of Tennessee. Below and west of the plateau, the Highland Rim is a limestone upland whose edges are notched by gorges. Burgess Falls in Putnam County spills into a sheer-walled limestone gorge, and Cummins Falls in Jackson County drops into a broad pool surrounded by rocky ledges that draw swimmers. Coffee County, around Manchester and Tullahoma, holds the most listings in the state, including Machine Falls, a wide cascade in a protected natural area. On the western Highland Rim, Stillhouse Hollow Falls in Maury County and falls in Hickman, Lewis and Lawrence counties are smaller drops in quiet, wooded hollows. Read the Tennessee waterfall guide.
