Cumberland PolaroidLocated on the Cumberland River just outside of Corbin, Kentucky, Cumberland Falls is often referred to as the “Niagra of the South”.  The falls are famous for their “moonbow”, which is only visible by the light of a full moon. The Cumberland Falls moonbow is the only one that can be seen in the Western Hemisphere.

 

In addition to the beautiful scenery, you can also enjoy great kayak and canoe trips, horseback riding, hiking, fishing, and bird watching opportunities. Plan your trip today!
