Rutledge Falls is a great swimming hole and a very wide waterfall in Tennessee. It is located on private property, but the owners are incredibly kind enough to allow people to visit, so please (as always) be sure to leave no trace.

Parking Lot
The parking is along the road. There is enough parking for a dozen cars and then it appears that the church nearby allows people to park there if needed. Remember to be mindful of parking on Sundays during church hours and potentially either visit another waterfall, or finding alternate parking in the area.
Trailhead
If you walk from the parking lot away from the church, you will come across an opening in the fence for you to go through. Go through here and follow the path. This is a very easy waterfall to find and there aren’t very many trails here.
Rutledge Falls
You can explore the area. I saw people at the top of the waterfall (I had my kid with me and didn’t see how they got up there) and I saw people heading downstream. Its a great place to explore and SWIM!
