Emory Gap Falls is a series of cascades on the Panther Branch Trail in Frozen Head State Park, about 0.5 miles past DeBord Falls and requiring some rock-hopping to reach the base. The two falls together make a roughly 2.8-mile round-trip hike near Wartburg.
Its water comes from Emory River (Flat Fork). You'll find it in Morgan, Tennessee. It is protected within Frozen Head State Park (TN State Parks).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 2.8 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Wartburg, the closest town.
When to go: Spring (high flow). Like most waterfalls, Emory Gap Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
