Why you should go…

Cumberland Falls drops about 68 feet in a 125-foot-wide curtain of water into a boulder-strewn gorge, which earned it the nickname Niagara of the South. On clear nights around the full moon, the mist can form a moonbow you can see with the naked eye. The park sits inside Daniel Boone National Forest, with hiking trails, cabins and the 44-foot Eagle Falls nearby.
