BROKE LEG FALLS:
Looking for a cascading
effect while finding a massive drop to a lower gorge area, try
Broke Leg Falls. The upper part of the falls goes cascading back
and forth, hence the name. Kids of all ages will love walking
under the falls.

log home dating back to the late 1800's, during the logging period of
Kentucky's history. Nearby Gladie Creek was home to many families who
frequented the small community center at the mouth of Gladie Creek. There
was a school, cemetery, and small store. Today, the Gladie Historic Site
still features the Gladie cabin and shows what life would have been like for
these early settlers.
