Stinging Fork Falls State Natural Area, a Tennessee Class II Natural-Scientific State Scenic Area, is located in Rhea County, Tennessee, near Spring City. The Stinging Fork Falls trail terminates at the bottom of Stinging Fork Falls, a 30-foot high waterfall, about 1 mile from the parking area. A future segment of the Cumberland Trail is planned to connect to the falls. The 783-acre area is owned by the State of Tennessee and managed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
