DAY TRIP: Rock House Bottom at Creelsboro In just a short drive from Columbia to Creelsboro, Kentucky you can discover some of Mother Nature's best magic. You can get a great view of a huge, natural arch the locals refer to as Rock House Bottom located at the water's edge on the Cumberland River below Lake Cumberland and Wolf Creek Dam. The Creelsboro, Kentucky landing was a hub of commerce from the 1870s to the early 1900s in the height of the steamboat era and for a time it was Russell County's largest town. Timber, livestock, produce and tobacco were shipped south to Nashville and New Orleans and to Cincinnati and points north. Horses and buggies and wagons made for many a traffic jam in downtown Creelsboro. Today the buildings are mere reminders of that thriving time in the little town. To enjoy this journey from Columbia, take Highway 55 toward Lake Cumberland. About 12 to 15 miles out, look for highway 1058 and turn right to Creelsboro. Give yourself plenty of time to wind around and down, deep into the past. This story was posted on 2004-03-11 06:55:40
