Stone Door describes a geologic feature found in the South Cumberland State Recreation Area (Tennessee). This larger area is formed by the action of several big creeks and eons of time carving a five mile canyon through the Cumberland Plateau. Cliffs line portions of the rims of the canyons appearing sporadically but dramatically. The Stone Door is a narrow passageway leading from the cliff tops to their base, one of the few easy ways to gain entry to the gorge below in this area. Climbing is not permitted within the narrow slot of Stone Door, but is found on the surrounding cliffs.
