Did You Know?

Devils Jump Rapid is just below the site of the proposed dam.

In the 1960's  Congress requested the Army Corps of Engineers to study the feasibility of damming the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River just above the Devils Jump Rapid to create another reservoir.  Had that happened Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area would never have existed.
