It’s been called the “Niagara of the South,” and next week, the Kentucky State Parks will celebrate Cumberland Falls, the second-largest waterfall east of the Mississippi River.
“So 100 years of celebrations is a big thing for us. We were the third state park here in Kentucky to become a state park back in 1931,” said Christian Hall, Cumberland Falls Lead Park Naturalist.
“So for us its all of this history and heritage that were able to look at and celebrate and remember and appreciate.”The area features 20 different hiking trails, mountains of trees as far as the eye can see, and a variety of recreational programs like horseback riding and archery.
“A lot of the trails here were actually started back in the 30s,” said Hall. “You’ll see a lot of masonry work, a lot of stone work.
