Cumberland Gap Falls, KY State Park was not easy to get to. It was several miles west of I-65 on a narrow, winding road. You park at a Visitor's Center and walk behind the center, and Voila! the Cumberland River is rushing along and falling over the rocks.
I've never been to Niagra Falls but I read that the Cumberland Gap Falls are similar, just smaller.
We started off at the head of the falls, and at this stage they were not too impressive.
As you continued down from the falls, they seemed to get larger, and noisier. Lots of mist came up from below, and was refreshing on such a hot day.
Farther down stream, bus loads of young people came to put in their canoes, rafts, etc. to ride down the river. I have no desire to go white water rafting or tubing.
This state park is a well-kept secret or at least I had never heard of it. There was a lodge, as well as cabins within the park. A large swimming pool was on the premises as well as horse stables for horseback riding. What a great place to spend time with a family. I wonder if they have TV and WiFi? Maybe not!
