That's me in the photo. This fall plunges about 30 feet and then runs a short distance (less than a hundred feet) and drains right into the upper reaches of the Cumberland River. The Cumberland was used extensively in the transportation of coal and timber out of the region in the first half of the 1900's. The shallow running steamboats ran as far upstream as Gainsboro, Tennessee, but not as far as this falls.
