History edit
The waterfall was significantly higher during the 19th century. The waterfall lost its height as the channel leading up to it deepened.[1] There have been fatalities from people falling into the water onto rocks near the waterfall. The Probiy waterfall is a popular local place for kayakers and rafters.
