Today March 17, 2018 I visited Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park in Manchester continuing my "Chasin Waterfalls" series. About an hours drive down I-24 from Nashville with easy access from the highway I found a delightful park with lots of things to see and do. Of course my main reason for going were the Waterfalls and Old Stone Fort delivered! I first checked in at the Museum and was greeted by a polite and knowledgeable young lady who after some conversation provided me with a park brochure and verbal directions and I was off! The park has a total of three "official" waterfalls, Bluehole Falls, Big Falls, and Step Falls. There is also what looks to be a man-made falls behind the Museum. I really should have gotten more information and paid more attention! I can tell you that I was able to access all three falls will little difficulty with Step Falls being the most difficult I spent 5 hours in the the park taking pictures of the Falls and hiking the Nature Trail. Being such a short drive and easy access I plan to return soon and often! As I do I will add to the story! Hope to see you there!
