All permit users will be required to watch a safety video before accessing the gorge. Access to the gorge and base of the waterfall is only allowed during fair weather conditions and is subject to change when rain appears anywhere in the watershed. Cummins Falls is the 8th largest waterfall in Tennessee. Hiking and swimming are the favorite activities in this park.
