Cumberland Falls is the largest waterfall East of the Mississippi River in the U.S., 2nd only to Niagara.

On a summer 2007 trip through Eastern Kentucky, I was lucky to see the falls after heavy summer rains energized the Cumberland River. Hope you enjoy this look at one of the natural wonders of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

I travelled to Nashville in January 2008, where I heard a fantastic Bluegrass group called The Steel Drivers. "East Kentucky Home" is Track 1 from their self-titled live performance recorded 11/08/2006.

  • nice video i live about 15 mins from the falls.

  • You're lucky to live in such a scenic part of Kentucky.

  • Nice! I'm in western KY but wish I'd been raised in the eastern part. I love Cumberland Falls, Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge, Renfro Valley, the Big South Fork train, Kingdom Come State Park, Jenny Wiley State Park, Daniel Boone National Park, Breaks Interstate Park, etc. I was a desk clerk at Ramada, & one guest from CA told me she's been to almost every state in the US, & KY is the prettiest she's seen. The mountainous half IS really gorgeous.

  • I've visited the Falls, Gorge & Bridge, as well as Boone Nat'l. Check out "Russell's Roadtrip" video at Kingdom Come State Park. I haven't had a chance to spend time in Boone Nat'l, or see Renfro Valley, Big Fork train, etc. I'm making it a point, in my 40's (and beyond), to discover the natural wonders that reign in our Commonwealth. Have you ever seen Angel Falls? I have one grainy picture of my trip there.
