Description
Eagle Creek is a trib of the Cumberland River near Cumberland Falls. Actual 'recommended' put-in is unknown. (You carry in, carry up, and see what looks runnable to you.) Therefore, the listed put-in coordinates are included only to get you in the ballpark. Anyone having more details regarding this run is encouraged to either provide them via the "Add a comment" button on the comments tab (which should appear for registered, logged-in users of this site) or sign-up as a StreamTeam member (AW members only) to 'adopt' this section of river. Bart Bledsoe shared: The main attraction here is the 30' high Eagle Creek Falls, which lands on rock at most flows. With the right water level, there might be a line. Immediately below the falls is a runnable drop which lands in the Cumberland River. The best way to access the area with a boat is to carry down to the beach below Cumberland Falls and ferry across the river to Eagle Creek. If you are not carrying a boat, just hike in on the Eagle Falls trail.
