Kentucky has an abundance of beautiful waterfalls, and the crown jewel is most definitely Cumberland Falls. Most visitors to Cumberland Falls State Resort Park head to its most popular trail, which leads straight to our state’s largest waterfall. But within this superlative state park, there are many, many more glorious cascades that also deserve your attention. Eagle Falls is one of them. Kentucky’s beautifully blue waterfall will take your breath away, and the journey to get there is a two-mile hike that’s incredibly scenic and accessible.
Eagle Falls is a glorious blue waterfall in Kentucky which you'll access on Trail No. 9 at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. This rocky waterfall trail offers all of the best natural features of Kentucky and is sure to become a favorite.
This trail is rated moderate with several steep inclines and stairs as you near Eagle Falls. However, at under two miles long, it's definitely doable for beginners and families.
Definitely plan a small detour at the overlook that opens up to Cumberland Falls. While the main trail to Kentucky's largest waterfall gets you closer, Eagle Falls Trail offers a wholly unique vantage point of this glorious natural wonder.
Have you visited Eagle Falls before? Kentucky’s brilliantly blue waterfall sure is beautiful, isn’t it? Learn more about the Eagle Falls Trail and plan your excursion by visiting AllTrails.
