Description
Known as the "Niagara of the South," Cumberland Falls State Resort Park is named after the largest waterfall south of the Niagara. 125 ft wide wall of water drops into a boulder-strewn gorge. With a full moon and clear night sky you can see the "moonbow," a (lunar rainbow) that appears in the base of the waterfall. A phenomenon not found anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere! The area is also a natural choice for water-sports enthusiasts, offering *white-water rafting, *canoeing, *swimming, and fishing. Landlubbers will enjoy hiking and *horseback riding in this lovely area. (* for Seasonal)
The Clifty Campground bathhouse is not open at this time due to renovations. Clifty campers can use the Ridgeline bathhouse for showering, etc. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Horseback riding runs from Memorial Day weekend to 10/31 each year. Swimming pool season is MD-LD.
There is a $5 fee for campers to use the swimming pool.
Please note:
- The maximum reservation window is 12 months in advance to the date.
- New Inventory is made available when the call center opens.
Please note the following:
- Longer minimum night stays are required at most campgrounds during holiday periods.
- Parks prohibits the importation of firewood by campers from any state outside of Kentucky. This is in an effort to help prevent the introduction of the Emerald Ash Borer into the state. Firewood is available for sale in the state park campgrounds. https://parks.ky.gov/firewood-policy
