Cumberland Falls in Daniel Boone National Forest

Cumberland Falls a.k.a "Niagara of the South".

On average the falls are 68 feet (21 m) high and 125 feet (38 m) wide. The mist rising from the largest waterfall in Kentucky, creates a unique natural phenomenon on a predictable schedule during a time period around the Full Moon. Cumberland Falls State Resort Park has an easily accessible area where everything lines up at the correct angle. The Falls are situated in such an odd way facing north and flowing north, as to reflect the light of the Moon to make a rainbow like arch, an optical phenomenon called a "moonbow".
