Wolf Cove Falls is a 15-foot waterfall in Franklin County, Tennessee, in the Southwestern Appalachians region. It lies about 7.8 miles south of Cowan and roughly 39.2 miles northeast of Huntsville as the crow flies.
At 15 feet it is on the modest side for Tennessee, where the typical waterfall with a recorded height stands around 30 feet; it ranks 240th of 332. By form it is a plunge, where the water drops vertically and loses contact with the rock face.
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.
