This waterfall may only be 20-feet in height, but it is trickling streams that flow for an additional 80-feet across steep rocks and sandstone ledges, making it one of the tallest waterfalls in the state! Surrounded by towering pines and oaks and tucked away from any big roads and parking lots, it is truly an awe-inspiring sight to see. You can reach the falls by visiting the 3,775-acre Burden Falls Wilderness Area, which is part of the Shawnee National Forest. You vwill have to hike down a 3.5-mile trail before you come across it, which only adds to the mysteriousness of this natural wonder.
