Virgin Falls drops 110 ft (34 m) as a plunge waterfall in Tennessee.
Its water comes from Big Branch (underground stream emerging from a cave). You'll find it in White, Tennessee. It is protected within Tennessee State Natural Areas.
This is a backcountry waterfall: a remote, long, or permit-required trek for prepared visitors. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 9 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Sparta, the closest town.
When to go: winter/spring (after rain). Like most waterfalls, Virgin 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.
