Wondrous Waterfalls

We have more than our share of impressive waterscapes in the Heart of Appalachia. Experience scenic cascades, as well as refreshing rivers and reservoirs.

1 day CLINCH RIVER LIFE

Start on the water – the Clinch River, of course – with a gloriously relaxing tube float. Slather on the sunscreen for a gentle downriver float that can last from 90 minutes to three hours. Rent brightly-colored tubes from Clinch River Life in Duffield.

DEVIL'S BATHTUB

No need to dry off yet. Devil's Bathtub is your next stop. Enjoy a short waterfall hike and a dip in an icy cold swimming hole. Two playful rope swings keep the fun going all afternoon.

Tank Hollow Falls

Next stop, Tank Hollow Falls . This 60-foottall waterfall is tucked away in a quiet hollow in the Appalachian Mountains. It may be one of the most peaceful places on earth. Certainly, it's well worth the 45-minute drive from Norton.
