Schedules US State Dept. The flow keeps flowing. The falls keep falling.
Visitors keep visiting.
Drought or no drought, the Cumberland, like Old Man River, just keeps rolling along. Not only has this summer's drought not shut down the falls, no drought in recorded history has either, says park manager Danny Brown. Records show that at flood stage, flow over the falls often reaches 30,000 cubic feet per second. No current figure is available, Brown said, but flow this month is about average, he said. Nor will it stop this year, he said.
