Greeter Falls - Savage Gulf State Park
Waterfall · Tennessee
About this swimming hole
Savage Gulf's star swimming hole, where a 50-foot lower falls lands in a rounded, photogenic plunge pool. The adventure starts before the swim: a metal spiral staircase bolted to the bluff descends into the gorge. Big boulders ring the pool for sunning between dips in the cold, clear water.
