Cumberland Falls is one of Kentucky’s most spectacular natural attractions, located within Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in southeastern Kentucky. Often called the “Niagara of the South,” this magnificent waterfall stretches approximately 125 feet across the Cumberland River and plunges nearly 69 feet into a beautiful rocky gorge.
Surrounded by lush forests, rugged rock formations, and scenic river views, Cumberland Falls offers visitors an unforgettable outdoor experience. Whether you’re enjoying the breathtaking waterfall, exploring nearby hiking trails, or watching the river flow through the gorge, this destination showcases the natural beauty of Kentucky.
One of its most extraordinary attractions is the famous Moonbow, a rare lunar rainbow that can appear in the waterfall’s mist during clear nights around a full moon.
