Busby Falls

Cascading along Bobo Creek inside Short Springs State Natural Area in Tullahoma, Tennessee are Upper and Lower Busby Falls! These waterfalls, each roughly 20 feet, are easy to miss but are quite serene if you can find them! While an out-and-back route along the Busby Falls/Bobo Creek Trail totaling 1.1 miles will take you to see them both, it's a worth including Machine Falls in the hike as well, bringing the trek to 1.9 miles. For those feeling extra adventurous, a 3.1-mile loop will take you to see an additional waterfall, Adams Falls. If doing the largest loop, plan for about 4-5 hours to ensure you have time to hike and enjoy all the falls. The parking lot is small, so plan on arriving early before it fills up.
