In its retreat, the falls cut what is now the Cumberland River gorge, reaching depths in places of up to 400 feet (120 m). It is believed that Cumberland Falls originated at the Pottsville Escarpment, near modern-day Burnside, Kentucky, and retreated to its current location approximately 45 miles (72 km) upstream.
