It's actually not - despite what signs at the falls and all common sources on the internet may say. It's one of those "facts" that sort of self-perpetuates without getting fact checked. Fall Creek Falls is just a hair over 200 feet tall, and Taughannock Falls is about 6 feet taller. Inspiration Falls in New York has them both beat by over 100 feet though.

Exactly my thought! I was looking for the octopus in OPs picture. And a moment later thinking, if this is the cave the scene was shot at.

It's a very random memory, i did not watch it again since then, must be around 25 years since. And also I was not an avid baywatch watcher, it was just a random after-school tv experience. But it seems to be burnt in my mind

I have done that a couple times. Never will again though. As I was standing as close to the waterfall as one can get, a series of rocks began falling and landing all around me. My friends and I were lucky to not get hit by any.

So yeah, the signs are there for a reason.
