Roaring River Falls is also known as Crawford Mill Falls (based on the old mill that used to be here, and some evidence of it is still visible here) or Hardy-Reagan Falls (which is taken from the name of the nearby bridge where TN136 crosses the river). The Water drops about 13 feet and since it's late in the summer, there's not as much of it on this day as there would be during wetter times of the year. The area of the waterfall is about 80 feet wide here and I couldn't get far enough back to get everything in one shot. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the enormous backdrop which is a ~140ft. cliff made up of dozens of easily distinguishable strata of bedrock.
