This was a great trip to see the Cumberland Falls. Everything was clean, the weather was great. We were not there for the moon bow but it was still great to see the Falls and there was also a car show there and that added to our adventure. More

We enjoyed a brief visit to Cumberland Falls in May 2012. Not Niagra Falls, but we weren't expecting that -- worth a visit if in that part of the state. More

I stopped here for a little bit on the way to the Smoky Mountains, mainly just to get some photographs of the falls. Got there fairly early so there weren't too many people around. From the parking lot, it's a short walk to the falls, past a gift shop and snack bar and you'll be at the top of the... More

Only two waterfalls in the world have a regular moonbow - a rainbow in the mist during a full moon. It is fainter than a daytime rainbow, and hard to photograph without professional equipment, but definitely worth seeing. The resort lodge is rustic but comfortable. At one time, Kentucky's state park system was the best in the nation. With the... More

It was quite exciting and a wonderful experience especially since ther are only two places in the world that this phenomenon can be seen. The other locatin is in... More

Staying at the Cumberland Falls State Park we spent time on a day trip drive to Corbin were we ate. The road trip consisted of taking route 25W through the back roads paralleling Interstate 75. It was fantastic to get off the busy interstate relax and enjoy the country side and small towns along the route. More

We took a quick little trip to KY two weeks ago. We stayed at the Cumberland Falls State Park Lodge and it was fine. The lodge needs some updating but the rooms were clean just a little older. We had a room the first night that turned out to be in very noisy area of the lodge so the next... More
