When the Franklin- Highlands highway was built, about, 1930, tons and tons of rock were dynamited 'over into the gorge, considerably changing the appearance of the j falls. The only way to get down to the waterfall in that period was by a nar i row, tortuous trail that often led overrock- cliffs. (Photo loaned by Mrs. Fred Wood.)
