 The Cumberland River flows nearly 700 miles. In recognition of the exceptional natural quality and aesthetic character, a
16-mile segment from summer Shaots to Lake Cumberland, including the Cumberland Falls area, is designated as a Kentucky Wild River.

unhappy faceBecause the daytime and evening conditions were right, the two RV Gypsies returned in the evening to see the moonbow, and after a 2-1/2 hour wait, they aborted the mission because fog rolled in. Bummer!

Cumberland Falls is known as the "Niagara of the South". The waterfall forms a 125-foot wide curtain that plunges 7 stories into a boulder-strewn gorge below. The mist of Cumberland Falls creates the magic of the moonbow, only visible on a clear night during a full moon. This unique phenomenon appears nowhere else in the Western Hemisphere.
