Cumberland Falls
Kentucky
Often called the 'Niagara of the South,' Cumberland Falls is a 125-foot-wide curtain of water that roars into a rocky gorge. A short, easy walk from the RV lot brings you to a front-row view of the falls and, on moonlit nights, a rare moonbow.
RV access
RV parking in the large lot near the waterfall overlook; paved path (about 100 yards) leads to the main viewing area.
Nearest RV base
Cumberland Falls State Resort Park Campground (within the park).
Plan it honestly
Flow is best in late winter through early spring. Check park alerts for trail and overlook accessibility before visiting.
