About This Waterfall

According to Jim Bob Tinsley's Land of Waterfalls this fall was originally known as Upper Shoals, but has more recently been referred to as Grace Falls or Barbara Falls. In lieu of Grace Falls along the Glady Fork being located very close by, and in keeping with how both Tinsley and Kevin Adams reference the fall, it seemed Upper Shoals should be considered the appropriate name to use.
