You could spend a lifetime exploring the hiking trails of Kentucky and never see all of the natural wonders our state has to offer. Those who aren’t familiar with our landscape are often surprised to learn that the Bluegrass State is actually home to an incredibly diverse offering of natural beauty that includes rock formations, mountains, lakes, cliffs, gorges, waterfalls, and more. With so many secrets hiding in the forest, there’s bound to be a hidden waterfall in Kentucky that’s almost too magical to be real. This drone video, shared below, by Ben Childers Photography, shows off an incredible double waterfall that is tucked away on a very difficult trail, so enjoy a glimpse of it with this footage and photos.

Laurel County is one of the most stunning areas of our state and is filled with exciting ways to spend time outdoors.
