Important Info

Climbing

IMPORTANT: All rock climbing requires advance online registration. Never attempt climbing without proper shoes, harnesses, ropes and protective gear. Climbing is a dangerous activity and should not be attempted by novices.

Day Hikes

Be prepared for your hike! Know when the sun will set, and make sure you bring along these essentials...

Overlooks

Many overlooks do not have protective barriers. Keep a close eye on children and be careful!

Waterfalls

Be careful climbing near waterfalls as rocks can be slippery! NEVER jump off falls or elevated rocks into plunge pools. Exposed rocks appearing wet and “black” are extremely slick with algae. Avoid them!  Flows vary by season, with spring and fall typically having the heaviest.

Getting There

The entrance to Denny Cove is on US 41, about 9 miles south of Tracy City and 1.5 miles south of Foster Falls, on your right, just past the large brown park sign. The entrance road is gravel, with a smaller brown park sign and bar gate, across from the Foster Falls Volunteer Fire Department. Follow the gravel road about 3/4 of a mile to the Denny Cove parking area, also on your right.
