Old Cliffty is located at Cumberland
Falls State Park just a few 100 feet from the pool area. You must have permission in order to be around this building
do to fire & health hazards.
I will post the gruesome story about Old Cliffty later on this week.
The Real Story
Cumberland
Falls State Park Back in the 1950's, a bride and groom came to
Cumberland Falls State Park for their Honeymoon. The couple decided to take in some of sites at the falls area before going
back to their room at the lodge. Before leaving the falls they wanted to have their photos taken with the falls in the background.
The couple found an overlook just a few hundred feet from the falls that would work great for the photo. As the bride stood
on the Pillars at the edge of the 75 to 80 foot cliff, the bride lost her balance and fell to her death. This place is now
called "Lovers Leap". There have been reports of people driving around the last curve and hitting a woman that seems to be
wearing a wedding dress and when they go to look for her, she is no where to be found.
