Fulling Mill Falls
Shawnee Run Creek
Shaker Village
Mercer County
Kentucky
A super last minute decision Sunday had myself and good friend Adam Thompson heading down US 68 out of Lexington Kentucky to Shaker Village for some adventure! It had been raining most of the morning there and I couldn’t take watching it anymore so I asked Adam around noon if he was up for going out to shoot. Of course he was too, so after stopping by the overlook at High Bridge and the old US-68 tunnel we finally headed down to Shaker Village for the moderate but short hike to Fulling Mill Falls. One of Kentucky’s more unique falls, it emerges from the side of the hill about 20 feet above Shawnee Run Creek across from the remains of the old Fulling Mill. Seems to me I read somewhere the waterfall is man made. Though a collapsed tree just downstream from the falls obstructed some of our perspectives we still found plenty upstream and across from where it emerges. Time passed quickly as we ended up spending around an hour and a half enjoying the falls for some much needed waterfall therapy!
