Rock City’s Lovers Leap is also a main attraction. The waterfall cascading at 100 feet and cliff got the name “Lovers Leap” from an old Indian Tail of forbidden love. A Cherokee Native named Sautee fell in love with the Chief of the Cherokee’s Daughter, Nacoochee. Nacoochee and Sautee both knew that Nacoochee’s father would not approve of their love and would not let them get married. The couple got married and fled their tribes to live together. Cherokee Chief ordered his people to find Sautee and punish him for fleeing with his daughter. Eventually they were found in the cave in Lookout Mountain. Cherokee Chief sentenced Sautee to death. The tribe threw Sautee over the cliff. In disbelief Nacoochee leaped to her death off the side of the cliff. Cherokee Chief buried the couple side by side at the bottom of Lover’s Leap.
