Grand Opening for new Lodge at Fall Creek Falls State Park

FALL CREEK FALLS, Tennessee (WDEF) – A major upgrade to the Fall Creek Falls State Park is now officially open.

The popular scenic area on the Cumberland Plateau above the Sequatchie Valley has a new Lodge for visitors.

The 85 room hotel also has a conference center, restaurant and lounge.

Governor Bill Lee visited the Park on Tuesday for the grand opening.

“This new lodge is an outstanding attraction at a premier state park,” Lee said. “It’s an example of why Tennessee has one of the best state parks systems in America. We are eager to welcome the many visitors who will stay at the lodge and continue to make Fall Creek Falls State Park a year-round destination.”

Right now, a limited number of rooms are available for reservations.

The restaurant is open, but it has a limited menu and hours for the time being.

The rooms in the Lodge overlook the Lake, each with it’s own balcony.

“Our goal was to provide a space where visitors could seamlessly transition from the beautiful outdoor scenery of the state park to modern and relaxing accommodations,” said Department of General Services Deputy Commissioner John Hull.

Last year, Fall Creek Falls opened a new visitors center at the park.
