The guidebook says:
A winding trail leads from the falls, half a mile down the river to LITTLE EAGLE FALLS, small but picturesque, surrounded by heavily wooded hills. It is said that this spot was regarded as a sacred place by the Indians who guarded it day and night and even fought a battle (the Indian Battle of Shiloh) in its defense.
---- KENTUCKY, A Guide to the Bluegrass State, 1939
Trail #9 aka Eagle Falls Trail involves a strenous 1.5 mile hike to see this small plunge waterfall. Consider it to be equivalent to taking the stairs up and down eight stories - twice - since an in/out path. On a hot summer day, the falls were a popular place to cool off by swimming.
