| Cummins Falls Map & Directions Here Cummins Falls is a gorgeous 50 foot cascade with a wonderful swimming hole at the base. This is not a public waterfall. It is a good idea to wear waterproof shoes of some sort. Directions: Cummins Falls is located north of Cookeville, TN off Hwy 135. After about 10 miles there will be Cummins Mill Road on your left. Drive about 3.5 miles to a unmarked parking area on your right. The trail starts there. Alternately, Take Exit 280 from Interstate 40, Highway 56 North (Baxter / Gainesboro) and go North for Approximately 8 miles. Turn Right onto TN-290 (Gainesboro Grade). After about 1 mile turn Left onto Cummins Mills Road (gas station on the corner to your left)and then travel 3 miles where to your left there will be a small unmarked parking area. This is where the trail starts. The trail to the overlook is about .1 mile. To get to the base is a little more demanding and not for the light of heart of folks with heart and/or brteathing problems. Continue down to the river and wade across which is very shallow, but go way upstream. After crossing, head downstream to the crest of the falls. Continue up the steep hill off to the right and follow the path. Eventually, there will be a rope to help you down the cliff and to the lower river. Work you way upstream to the base. You may have to wade to the middle of the river and "rock-hop" to the base. ![]() ![]() |
