Fall Creek Falls Pet Policy
Park Pet Policy provided by TDEC and Fall Creek Falls.

Dogs, cats and other pets are prohibited unless they are crated, caged or on a leash,
or otherwise under physical restrictive control at all times. Pets are prohibited in park
inns or cabins (except where rooms and/or cabins have been designated for pets, see
specific information below), lodges, public eating places, food stores, and on
designated swimming beaches and pools at all times.

The superintendent may also designate, by the posting of appropriate signs on trails
and other portions of the park, areas where pets are not permitted. This prohibition
does not apply to service animals.

Inn and Cabins:
In an effort to make your stay more enjoyable, Tennessee's State Parks offer a limited
number of inn rooms and one cabin at each park for guests who travel with their pets.
We highly recommend you reserve these designated rooms several weeks in
advance.  Guests must sign a Pet Policy Liability form upon check-in that will provide
the park's pet policy in detail. Guests making cash payments for their stay will be
required to make a minimal deposit. Please call the park in advance for more
information.

Here are a few things you should know before arriving at the park.

  • Effective October 2004 - There is a $10 per pet charge per night.
  • Park Management reserves the right to prohibit any pet on the premises that
    may pose a risk to our guests or staff.
  • Rooms will not be cleaned if a pet is present (guests may obtain linen service).
  • Pets may not be left unattended in rooms or cabins.
  • Extra fees may apply for noisy dogs and cats that disturb other guests resulting
