Virgin Falls is a waterfall in White County, Tennessee. It drops roughly 110 feet. Access details and conditions have not yet been verified in person by Fallspots — the data on this page comes from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Virgin Falls sits in White County, Tennessee. The falls are inside Bridgestone-Firestone Centennial Wilderness Wildlife Management Area. The base sits at roughly 1,089 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 10 minutes from Bon Air. A trail — Virgin Falls Trail — runs within 0 meters of the marked location. No public parking is recorded within 2 km, so a longer approach is likely.

Entry is free. Dogs on leash are welcome on the access trail.
Is the water flowing right now?
Most waterfall sites don't tell you this. The waterfall itself is almost never gauged, but a USGS streamgage in the same watershed can tell you whether snowmelt has started, peaked, or run dry.
