Ive seen the same thing at waterfalls in state parks. Its probably super common around the world by now.
Edit: Logging back in to Lemmy like Dang thats a lot of mad neoliberals confusing an inconvenient fact for defense of the CCP.

Yeah. I’m trying to think of a tourist attraction with a small waterfall, that doesn’t do this.
The park staff is typically pretty open about it.
Small waterfalls are seasonal, and tourists are, well differently seasonal.
But that’s nothing that a little cheap plumbing can’t fix.
