Chickamauga Pocket Falls is a waterfall in Hamilton County, Tennessee, in the Southwestern Appalachians region, with a total height of about 40 feet. It lies about 1.9 miles southwest of Mowbray Mountain and roughly 13 miles north of East Chattanooga as the crow flies.
At 40 feet it is taller than the typical Tennessee waterfall of about 30 feet, ranking 103rd of 332 with a recorded height. The water comes down as a horsetail, where the water keeps some contact with the bedrock as it falls.
The Southwestern Appalachians are the Cumberland Plateau and its escarpments, a sandstone tableland covered in oak and mixed mesophytic forest and cut by deep gorges. Creeks pour off the plateau rim over sandstone caprock into gorges, creating many tall, dramatic falls.
