Standing 60-feet tall by 125-feet wide, the picturesque Cumberland Falls in Kentucky – also referred to as the “Niagara of The South” – is a popular travel destination. I shot this photograph quite a distance downstream and across the Cumberland River, near the trail to Eagle Falls.
You can bring the great outdoors into your home for enjoyment year round, with one of several prints (and more) available in my galleries, here:
More specifically, this is Eagle Falls, a 30-foot tall waterfall located along the Cumberland River in Kentucky, near Corbin. It can also be found quite easily by visiting my galleries at Pixels and/or ArtPal, where you’ll discover an assortment of wonderful prints available to enjoy at home or work.
Sunlight crests an adjacent mountain top to reveal the canopied base of Eagle Falls, located next to the Cumberland River, in Kentucky. You can discover great prints and more when you visit my galleries at Pixels and Redbubble. Hope to see you soon!
Located in Corbin, Kentucky, the 30-foot tall Eagle Falls meanders through large rocks to feed into the Cumberland River. Along the 1.5 mile trail from the parking area, hikers can also enjoy elevated views of the “Niagara of The South” – Cumberland Falls.
You can visit my shops at Pixels and Society 6 for great prints & gifts.
Thanks very much!

This is an iPhone photograph of a photograph of me taken with a Kodak disposable camera, circa 1995, standing behind Cumberland Falls. A friend and I took a road trip from Michigan to Corbin, Kentucky, to camp for a few days while visiting the Niagara of the South, a popular waterfall standing 60-feet high by 125-feet wide. Looking back, I’ve concluded that the rudimentary barriers in place to discourage access to this area were installed for good reason.
Here’s a newer video of Cumberland Falls, taken in December, 2019:
Referred to as the Niagara of the South at 60-feet tall by 125-feet wide, Cumberland Falls carries a substantial volume of water – the Cumberland River – which echoes loudly throughout the gorge. You can find prints and more in the following galleries:
This is Eagle Falls. Like other waterfalls, it erodes solid rock behind, under and ahead of its flow. You can often walk behind falls, wade or swim in deep plunge pools below falls, or crudely anticipate direction of future flows. And, of course, you may simply sit to rest and enjoy the beauty of waterfalls – in person, or at home. Visit my galleries at Pixels and Redbubble to discover some wonderful prints for your home, office, or anywhere, as well as many other product options!
The picturesque Eagle Falls stands 30-feet tall and is located at the 1.5 mile marker on a trail across the river from Cumberland Falls. However, you don’t have to travel to Corbin, Kentucky, to enjoy this waterfall. Rather, visit my galleries online at Pixels, ArtFlakes or ArtPal to purchase a print for your home or office…

Video
Located along the Cumberland River in Corbin, Kentucky, the scenic Eagle Falls stands 30-feet tall. The trail is relatively short – rated as moderate with several changes in elevation and some rocky areas – and certainly well worth the effort!
Parking is limited so it’s best to visit during the weekdays, if possible, or arrive early on the weekend. There are no restrooms on site, though such is available immediately across the river at the Cumberland Falls State Resort Park – home of the impressive Cumberland Falls, also known as “The Niagara of the South”.
Prints are available in my gallery – framed, canvas, metal, art, poster, wood, acrylic and tapestry. Plus, more…
Here is Eagle Falls. Fed from Brummett Branch, water drains into the Cumberland River through several large boulders. Along the hike you’ll also encounter what are probably the best views of Cumberland Falls – see video below.
Here are a few shots from the trail. The third shot was photographed from across the Cumberland River, in which, if you look closely, you’ll see the wooden railing along the hiking trail to Eagle Falls.
