04/20/17 - Day 17 - Nashville, TN - Burgess Falls
Spent the afternoon visiting two parks east of Nashville: Burgess Falls and Edgar Evins State Parks.
Burgess fall used to be a hydropower facility early in the 20th century before it was made obsolete by the larger Tennessee Valley Authority projects. Now it's a park with a series of walking and hiking trails and three progressively larger waterfalls. The first couple are right past the parking lot.
The other falls follow a series of trails
The second set of falls
Come at me, bro
The main event
Down the river valley view from the falls observation deck
On the way back I stopped by Edgar Evins Lake
Saw my first chipmunk of the trip
A few more trails and a look at the Center Hill dam and I headed back to town for the hockey game.
