So how do you get to Fancher Falls on the lake? The best place to launch from is Cookeville Boat Dock.
The directions are easy:
From Cookeville Boat Dock, go left. The boat slips will be on your left. You will pass all of these.
Turn into the first cove on the right – this will look like a really large fork. Keep paddling as you wind back into the cove, and eventually you will see Fancher Falls. (This is technically Taylor Creek)

Is it the 2nd cove you turn into after you pass the boats? I read somewhere the first was a dead end?
It is. The article above details the directions. The first on the right is basically a dead end which you can see as you pass. You will go right at the large fork. Once you are out, it’s hard to miss. https://centerhilllaketenn.com/fancher-falls-waterfall-on-center-hill-lake-tennessee/
