Took my family there last year for the first time and had the best outdoor adventure one can have. Weather was perfect and my 5yr old/3yr old (at the time) made it through the 2mi hike with energy to spare. Looking forward to going back this year. 

 

I found an hour here and there to catch/release some LMB. Even rented a jon boat, but the wind made it very hard to go very far from the lodge. 

 

Question, has anyone launched their personal boat with gas motor there? They rent aluminum jon boats and you are welcome to bring your own trolling motor... I called the boat launch store and he said no gas motors, but what if I trimmed motor up all the way and never used it? He wasn't sure if this was ok or not. I have a smaller aluminum bass boat: Lowe stinger 175.

Nice park, been there a few times.  This is copied from the website:  "Aluminum jon boats may be rented year-round. Please bring your own trolling motor and battery. No privately owned, motorized boats or gasoline motors are allowed on the lake. Visitors may bring their own canoes and kayaks year-round."  http://tnstateparks.com/parks/activities/fall-creek-falls-interpretive-programs  Hope that helps.
