Tennessee has perhaps millions of sinkholes, most of which are very small features. Based on data analysis from a 2013 sinkhole study (Dunigan/Sutherland 2013) I provide here a list of some of the largest features by dimension in the state. Below you'll find an interactive map, a table with this information, and photographs of some of the sinkholes.
* No official place name, named for nearest GNIS feature if nearby.
** Multiple possible names for feature. Made best guess.
Excluded from these lists is Montlake in Hamilton County. It may fit on the volume or depth list, but I cannot easily get at that information since it is flooded. It is a truly spectacular feature. More about Montlake here.
