Dog Slaughter Falls Dog Slaughter Creek Daniel Boone National Forest Whitley County Kentucky Besides being really cool to look at, Kentucky waterfalls have another cool feature, unusual names. Another falls that myself and good friend Jason Haley were able to take our good friends Randy Sanger and Todd Williams to see was Dog Slaughter Falls. The moderate one mile trail to the falls is both beautiful and peaceful as it passes along the creek side and along rock overhangs which offers plenty of time to contemplate the origin of the creek and fall’s namesake. Upon our arrival to the falls it began raining and with it came the fog. This was another falls that I’d not seen with such a heavy flow, but it still had it’s unique water feature, it’s perfect flow lines. Unfortunately with the heavy flow came photographic limitations. My original plan was to cross the creek and shoot it from the other side, but with the water levels as high as they were I decided that I didn’t want soggy feet the rest of the trip. I got several shots from the right side, and this is the first post of many.

Dog Slaughter Falls Dog Slaughter Creek Daniel Boone National Forest Whitley County Kentucky Having been here so many times now since I first found out about this falls a few years ago, I really needed to look for some new perspectives to shoot Dog Slaughter from, this one being definitely different. I had to wedge myself between a couple rocks which were a bit slippery, even with anti-slip boots on. The falls if definitely one of the most beautiful in the state, it's define flow lines make it unique from the others as well. Water levels permitting, the next time I post a shot from here, it will be from the other side of the creek.
