Rope Swing

Standing 18-feet tall and spanning the width of Crooked Fork Creek, a tributary to Emory River on the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee, Upper Potter’s Falls has a rope swing which is popular during summer months among local youth. These photographs were taken yesterday, following several days of heavy rain, so the rope swing was not in use.

To more fully appreciate the volume of water present, I’ve provided the following photograph of the same waterfall, taken in July 2020. Note: herein, I’ve edited (erased) the rope swing –

  2. WOW, my goodness. I suppose this is more water than usual in order to have a rope swing on that limb. The rushing of that water makes you feel small in comparison, and I give mad respect to mother nature! Thanks for sharing this Phil!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐ŸŒ…๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿž๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ“ท

    1. Thanks, Kym. Indeed, this volume of water would spell big trouble for anyone in the river – except for an old man cautiously wading between rocks near the shore, searching for a better view. ๐Ÿ“ท๐Ÿ˜‚ Have a great week, my friend! ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŒน
