Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, State park with 68-foot waterfall in Kentucky, United States
Cumberland Falls State Resort Park extends across 1,600 acres of land, featuring a 125-foot-wide waterfall that drops water into a boulder-filled gorge.
The park, established in 1931, includes structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression as part of federal work relief programs.
Native American tribes inhabited the Cumberland Falls area long before European settlement, leaving behind artifacts that document their presence in the region.
Visitors can stay at DuPont Lodge, choose from multiple camping sites, or reserve one of the park cabins while enjoying hiking trails and fishing spots.
The waterfall creates a moonbow during full moon nights, making it one of only two locations worldwide where this natural light phenomenon regularly occurs.
