Cumberland Falls is in Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, and is known as the "Niagara of the South".
This is a very impressive and easily accessible waterfall. There are viewing areas at the top, base, and downstream from the falls. Many nice views of the falls are also available from Trail #9, which follows the western edge of the river gorge, and leads to Eagle Falls.
Cumberland Falls is the only place in North America where you can see a moonbow. The moonbow is only visible on clear nights with a full moon. I was not lucky enough to see the moonbow, and all of the pictures on this page were taken in the daytime (that is a rainbow above, not a moonbow).
