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

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.
Thanks for sharing, that looks interesting!
