Piney Creek Falls is a 95 feet (29 m) waterfall located along Piney Creek, a mile or so above its confluence with Cane Creek. A trail leads an overlook above the falls. There is no trail to the base of the falls which can only be accessed by rappel or a rugged hike up the Piney Creek Gorge. The falls are located near Spencer, Tennessee in Fall Creek Falls State Park.[1]
