I know we think we know what’s in our best interest, but we also have to consider how our actions impact other people AND the environment. I’m only trying to make you aware of a way for you to enjoy waterfalls without being an a**hole. I’ll just straight up say that I’m not telling you what to do. Who Are You To Tell Me What To Do?!? Crosses set up because some people died at the Seventy-Six Falls in Lake Cumberland, Kentucky likely from taking a risky cliff-hugging trail to the left of where this picture was taken We’re all looking to have a good time, but it shouldn’t be at anyone else’s nor Nature’s expense. Indeed, this post is meant to be a resource (as well as a reminder) on how to be safe while respecting both Nature and the people around you. Or to have to come back to a place that now has signs everywhere, charges money (or even more money than before for the inevitable maintenance), or is closed off altogether?!? What good is it to go to an enjoyable place and then never come back or see it in a state that’s forever defiled and unable to be that pleasant experience you remembered it to be? Not being waterfall safe could mean a rescue or being carried out in a stretcher Not only that, but it also messes up the future enjoyment of this resource by everyone (including the perpetrator(s)). However, all it takes is a few ignorant, oblivious people and/or selfish a**holes to ruin it for everyone. Besides, waterfalls are good for our mental health, good for exercise, and a good excuse to share in the experience with loved ones and like-minded strangers. While we all share and enjoy waterfalls, it’s in all of our best interests to keep this good thing going. ![]() This means even more people are sharing this precious resource, and thus, there are more chances of bad things happening that wind up ruining it for everyone else… After all, waterfalls have always been popular over the years, but it has especially blown up since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. However, our observations in recent years (of which the photo you see above is an example) have made it clear that we need a reminder about being safe AND responsible. Writing this post on waterfall safety and common sense wasn’t something I wanted to do.
