Cumberland Falls State Resort Park

Located in the Daniel Boone National Forest, Cumberland Falls State Resort Park is Kentucky's top drawing State Park, and is the perfect destination for Family get-a-ways and vacations, Business meetings, weddings, and many other special events. Known as the Niagara of the South, Cumberland Falls forms a 125 foot-wide curtain that plunges 60 feet into a gorge below, making it the 2nd largest waterfall in North America. On a clear night and with a full moon, the mist of Cumberland Falls creates the magic of a Moonbow, the Western Hemisphere's only such phenomenon.  http://visitcumberlandfalls.com/
