Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky is a gem of natural beauty, famously home to the "Niagara of the South." The majestic waterfall is especially stunning during a full moon when the rare moonbow appears—a magical sight you won’t forget. The park offers well-maintained hiking trails, scenic overlooks, and plenty of opportunities for wildlife spotting and photography. Whether you're exploring the forest, enjoying a picnic, or staying at the charming lodge, there's something for everyone. The combination of natural wonder, outdoor activities, and peaceful atmosphere makes Cumberland Falls an ideal destination for families, couples, and nature enthusiasts alike.

We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet during our stay in the campgrounds. We have a small camper. Our site was quite level, but some of the sites are not. Lots of the sights have decks with a picnic table. Shower rooms were very clean. I did some of the trails. Trail 9 to Eagles Falls is spectacular at the falls. No dogs on that trail. All other trails allow dogs. This park has lots to do for kids.

Only visited the falls and completed a short hike. Everybody enjoyed their time and thought it was great. The waterfall is very large and cool to view but if I’m honest it doesn’t make my top five waterfalls in Kentucky. Maybe I’m just partial to being able to go behind the others and play in the water.

Took a quick family trip for Fall break and have really enjoyed our time here! Our cabin was perfect for our needs and was a great place to crash after a long day of hiking. Breakfast at the lodge was included with our stay and it fit great into our morning schedule. The trails are well maintained and the views are spectacular! The staff are incredibly friendly and got us a cabin near the playground. My son is already begging to come back.

Needs some upgrades which are reportedly coming in the fall; however, it is a beautiful place and very comfortable. The dining room food was amazing! Ragu Bolognese and Pork Marsala one night, fabulous fish and hush puppies another night. Also a nice salad bar and soups. I was stuffed both nights I was there!

Stayed in a cabin. Good sized living room with fireplace. Big kitchen. Two bedrooms with two queens each and two full baths. Large back deck. Lots of hiking trails with river, forrest and water falls. Early March 3" snowfall, very picturesque.

Such a beautiful park with amazing views! There is a trail to follow that leads to different angles to see the waterfall. Trail is not difficult at all. Not crowded when we visited during the week. Parking is close to the entrance where the gift shop is. This is definitely on my list to visit again.

We stopped here on our way through the state. We only stopped to see the waterfall and explore the gift shop. It is a beautiful sight to behold. It's one of the largest waterfalls I've seen. We didn't have to pay to see it but be prepared to walk a little ways from the parking lot to get the best view.

A must see waterfall in the US.

Beautiful place and real friendly people but the lodge and many of the cabins smelled like musty old churches or something. There were a few newer ones.
