Also within Blackwater Falls State Park, Shays Run plunges over three waterfalls, known as the Elakala Falls, in its decent to the Blackwater River. According to legend, a princess named Elakala threw herself over the edge of the first fall when her lover scorned her, and in another a girl-shy warrior named Elakala fell to his death while being pursued by two women. Here Sanger captures the upper falls.
