Eagle Falls, Waterfall in Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, Kentucky
Eagle Falls descends 44 feet over a rocky cliff face, creating a single plunge cascade where Eagle Creek meets the Cumberland River.
The waterfall and surrounding parkland have remained unchanged since the establishment of Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in the early 20th century.
Trail 9 leading to Eagle Falls represents a connection between Kentucky residents and nature through maintained hiking paths and outdoor recreation.
The waterfall requires a 3-mile round trip hike on Trail 9, with elevation changes and occasional rocky terrain that demands proper footwear.
The falls change their appearance during floods, when portions of the access trail submerge and require visitors to navigate painted boulder markers.
