Glasgow is cave country more than waterfall country, with Mammoth Cave just up the road, so the falls here take some driving. Seventy Six Falls is the best of the three, a 76 foot drop into Lake Cumberland east of town, reached by a tenth of a mile of path. The Big Falls asks for a 2 mile round trip and about 300 feet of climb. Both allow dogs. Irvine Fall is the third name on the list, with little documented about it.

Located at 37.0048°N, -85.9263°W
