Some of the best rock climbing in Tennessee is on the Cumberland Plateau, where the rock is typically hard, high-quality sandstone. As with waterfalls, many avenues for climbing are available at Tennessee State Parks, including Fall Creek Falls in Bledoe & Van Buren Counties and South Cumberland in Grundy, Franklin, Marion & Sequatchie Counties. A climbing permit is typically required and gratis.
