Description

C
umberland Falls State Park is located just southwest of Corbin, Kentucky and is contained entirely within the Daniel Boone National Forest.  The park encompasses 1,657 acres and is named for its major feature, 68-foot-tall Cumberland Falls.  The falls are one of the few places in the western hemisphere where a moonbow can frequently be seen on nights with a full moon.  The park is also the home of 44-foot Eagle Falls.  The section of the Cumberland River that includes the falls was designated a Kentucky Wild River by the State.  The forest in the park is also a dedicated State Nature Preserve.   The park was created by the wife of Kentucky native T. Coleman du Pont, who offered to buy the falls and surrounding acreage in order to create a state park.  He died before he could, but his wife purchased the falls and the 593 acres surrounding it in 1930.
