About this place
Short Creek is a substantial but very short watercourse in Pulaski County in the U.S. state of Kentucky. The water, in volume equivalent to a large creek or small river, flows out of a cave, runs for 200 feet through the sunlight, and then vanishes into another cave. The feature is located at the bottom of a hill hollow below the unincorporated community of Stab, Kentucky. The nearest town of size is Somerset, Kentucky. The mouth of the stream is located at coordinates 37.14897, -84.43855.
