Upper Waterfall on Little Bloody Creek Little Bloody Creek Wolfe County Kentucky The Uppermost waterfall on Little Bloody Creek is located in a mini-gorge outside Campton and on this waterfall daytrip we were lucky enough to visit it with a light dusting of snow. It's always nice to go back and revisit the archives, makes me want to return here again soon!
Upper Waterfall Little Bloody Creek Wolfe County Kentucky The return to the Upper Falls on Little Bloody Creek was a bit more shaky than I expected. When I last visited here it was cold, the ground was frozen and there was a dusting of snow. Easy peasy down to the falls. Little did I realize on this latest visit that the decent to the falls would be a bit more challenging. This roadside falls is one of the Kentucky's more interesting as it drops 50 or so feet as a ribbon of water into a short, but impressive slot canyon. The approach to this falls looks easier than it is, when before I had stable frozen ground, this time we were faced with soft, shifting soil and rocks making for a cautious trek. Last time I was here I wanted to get a photo of the falls showing more the slot canyon but because we had so many I chose to hold off. This time however, it was just Jason and I. Once I took this photo we made our way down to closer to the base of the falls. And we thought the decent down was sketchy! The soil at the base of the cliff was slick as ice! Thank goodness for trekking poles! Sadly this area is a total dumping ground for locals to dispose of their trash. Diapers, cans, bottles, wrappers, a whole bag of trash had been thrown out over the cliff. I did my best to clean up what I could but that's a battle that will forever be lost as I'm sure there will be plenty more tossed there tomorrow, and the next day and the next.
McCammon Falls McCammon Creek Greyhawk Community Park Greyhawk Jackson County Kentucky Back in April of 2013 I visited a waterfall that I had no idea existed until that day. Located near Grey Hawk, Kentucky about 40 miles east of I-75, McCammon Falls is a two tiered 40 footer just outside a city park. Difficult lighting at the upper tier made for challenging work so I opted on focusing on the lower falls with it's beautiful green foreground. Definitely looking forward to a return trip here, a little more water and a cloudier day!
