Traveling Far, Traveling Near

A Day in Cookeville, Tennessee

           My recent travel adventures include a trip to Cookeville, Tennessee. Even though the city has approximately thirty thousand people, the city is quaint and offers southern hospitality. Before the trip, I googled tourist sites near Cookeville. When completing my research, I found that the Cookeville area is known for its many waterfalls. I love to travel, hike, and do photography. I have a growing fascination with taking pictures of waterfalls. Before traveling, it is a great idea to have an itinerary.

My Itinerary For the Day

·     Breakfast at Dunkin Donuts

·     Fall Creek Falls

·     Cummins Falls

·     Lunch at Cheddars

·     Burgess Falls

·     Red Roof Inn

           My traveling adventures were about to begin. The first stop was Dunkin Donuts. Who loves their tasty, sugary donuts? Next, I traveled 215 miles from Kennesaw to Cookeville. The ride was uneventful with no problems. Arriving in Cookeville, the first stop was Fall Creek Falls State Park to view a waterfall. Fall Creek Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in Tennessee. The waterfall is 256 feet high. The images of Falls Creek Falls on the state park’s website show a beautiful waterfall with rolling water. With my iPhone in hand to use as a camera, I preceded to the overlook. Oh, no! Have you ever viewed a waterfall with virtually no water? I found out that the lake that provides the source of water is man-made. A dam is used to control the water. If you are planning a trip to view Fall Creek Falls, my recommendation is to contact the park ranger to see if the waterfall has plenty of water on the day that you will visit.

           The next stop was Cummins State Park to view another waterfall. According to the state park website, the waterfall is 75 feet high with a huge amount of water. To get to the Cummins Falls, a hike in the water is necessary. The walking trails were great! However, the hike in the water was a little difficult due to the rocks in the water. Being a hot August day, the water temperature was relatively cool, and the water was sparkling clean. Cummins Falls is a beautiful sight with plenty of rolling water. I took great pictures of the falls and the park. I highly recommend taking a trip to Cummins State Park to see the spectacular waterfall. By this time, I was hungry and ready to eat. At Cheddars, I ordered the chicken tenders meal. The food was tasty, and the service was great! I definitely will eat at Cheddars on another trip.

           The next stop was Burgess Falls State Park to view different waterfalls. One of the falls is 135 feet tall. The waterfalls are unique, and the scenery is great at the park. After hiking for an hour, I was exhausted for the day. Arriving at the Red Roof Inn in Cookeville, I found my room to be pleasing and clean. I chose to stay at the Red Roof Inn due to its reasonable price and good reviews. The next morning I went for a short hike before my next traveling adventure to Nashville. My adventures in the southern city of Cookeville were fun. If you are looking for a weekend trip, I highly recommend a trip to Cookeville, Tennessee.
