CUMBERLAND FALLS - Cumberland Falls State Park, Kentucky

Cumberland Falls at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park is the largest fall east of the Mississippi River and south of Niagara Falls. It is 125-feet across and 68-feet high.
 The mist of Cumberland Falls creates a Moonbow which appears under a bright full moon and a clear sky. This moonbow is the only one in the western hemisphere. 

Visit Cumberland State Park's website for dates and times in which the moonbow may be visible.
ACCESSIBILITY: Several trails lead from the parking lot which has plenty of handicapped parking to various viewpoints.
TYPE:  
  • Plunge - water descends vertically, losing contact with the bedrock surface.
  • Block - Water descends from a relatively wide stream or river.
DIRECTIONS: Cumberland Falls is 15 miles southwest of Corbin. Take US 25W to KY 90. If traveling south on I-75, take Exit 25. If traveling north on I-75, take Exit 15.

  2. Thank you for this. My husband has COPD and so he can't do a lot of walking but when we are going somewhere where they may be walking we take his wheelchair. I had. We would never be able to see waterfalls until I read your post.
