Twin Falls is an accidental waterfall: water from the Great Falls Reservoir seeps into underground caverns, traverses the Caney Fork bluff, and emerges as twin streams pouring side by side. The trail is a quick half-mile from the parking area to the overlook, good for short legs and short timelines. Dogs welcome on leash; no entry fees.
