Today, we adventured off to Ozone Falls near Crossville, Tennessee. It is a 0.8 mile there and back hike to the beautiful 110 foot waterfall. It was seen in the movie “The Jungle Book.” Sometimes, the river is really rolling, unfortunately, it was not the day of the video. The boys and I go here every year (as seen in some of the pics above). It is a moderate to strenuous hike to get to the bottom of the falls. There is also a trail that goes behind the waterfall.

UPDATE: The trail was updated in 2020 and now it is much easier to climb to the bottom of the falls. In fact, one can go downstream and look at the falls from there now. The trail allows you to hike to Black Mountain if you are up for the 6.7 mile hike.

The base of the falls is the perfect place to sit and relax or have a picnic. During the summer, it is a fun place to swim. Another good nearby waterfall to swim at is Piney Falls.

Take a look at the video below of our hike to this beautiful waterfall!

Ozone Falls is located in the Ozone Falls State Natural Area. Take I-40 to Crab Orchard Exit 329 to Highway 70 East. It is about 5 miles down on your right. Look for a sign that reads “Ozone Falls.”
