Ozone Falls State Natural Area

Because of its picturesque beauty and easy access, Disney selected Ozone Falls for scenes for their live-action film "Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book".

[3] The area is managed by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and maintained by Cumberland Mountain State Park.

The creek flows down from its source high in the Crab Orchard Mountains for a mile or so before steadying briefly as it enters the community of Ozone.

Migrants crossing the Cumberland Plateau en route to the Nashville area in the early 19th century wrote of Ozone Falls in journals and letters sent to relatives back home.

[2] The Ozone Falls State Natural Area was established in 1973, and originally consisted of 14 acres (57,000 m2).
