Due to recent low temperatures below 10 degrees F, the Dripping Spring at Creve Coeur Lake isn't dripping very much. It was 35F when I took this photo on the afternoon of Saturday, December 18, 2010.
To give you a better idea of scale: there are three teenagers huddled inside the gap between rock shelves midway up the "falls" above the park bench. The view from the inside must be pretty cool. I might have to sneak in there myself, despite the "no climbing on the rocks" sign.
The big sign on the left makes reference to the legend of the broken-hearted Indian maiden who lost her life here, without actually telling you the @#$% story. Thanks a lot.
"Creve Coeur" means "broken heart" in some obscure ancient language.
