Hotels in Sparta

Beneath the surface of this Tennessee town lies Lost Creek Cave, where underground waterfalls create nature's own sound system. The Calfkiller River winds through downtown past seven historic sites that tell tales of bygone eras without saying a word. Venture to nearby Burgess Falls State Park for cascading waters that seem to tumble straight out of a painting. Center Hill Lake offers cool respite on scorching summer days, while Caney Fork River beckons anglers with promising ripples. Fall Creek Falls State Park showcases dramatic plunges that make even smartphone cameras look professional. The town's modest size belies its natural wealth – arrive with hiking boots and leave with memory cards full of waterfalls that somehow never look the same twice.
