Known as the "Niagara of the South," the 125-foot wide curtain of water is dramatic day or night. But it's only at night during a full moon that you can see the moonbow, a phenomenon not found anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere. 2013 Moonbow Dates August 17 9:00pm - 11:00pm 18 9:00pm - 11:00pm 19 9:30pm - 11:30pm 20 10:00pm - 12:00am 21 10:30pm - 12:30am 22 11:00pm - 1:00am September 16 8:00pm - 10:00pm 17 8:30pm - 10:30pm 18 9:00pm - 11:00pm 19 9:30pm - 11:30pm 20 10:00pm - 12:00am 21 10:30pm - 12:30am October 15 7:30pm - 9:30pm 16 7:30pm - 9:30pm 17 8:00pm - 10:00pm 18 8:30pm - 10:30pm 19 9:00pm - 11:00pm 20 9:30pm - 11:30pm November 14 6:30pm - 8:30pm 15 6:30pm - 8:30pm 16 7:00pm - 9:00pm 17 7:30pm - 9:30pm 18 8:00pm - 10:00pm 19 8:30pm - 10:30pm December 14 6:00pm - 8:00pm 15 6:00pm - 8:00pm 16 7:00pm - 9:00pm 17 7:30pm - 9:30pm 18 8:00pm - 10:00pm 19 8:30pm - 10:30pm Lodging: The solid hemlock beams and knotty pine paneling complement the massive stone fireplaces in historic DuPont Lodge, one of the most beautiful state park lodges.

Cumberland Falls State Resort Park is a park located just southwest of Corbin, Kentucky and is contained entirely within the Daniel Boone National Forest. The park encompasses and is named for its major feature, 68ft Cumberland Falls. The falls are one of the few places in the western hemisphere where a moonbow can frequently be seen on nights with a full moon. The park is also the home of 44ft Eagle Falls.HistoryAfter the discussion of building an hydroelectric power plant above the falls in 1927, Kentucky native T. Coleman du Pont offered to buy the falls and surrounding acreage in order to create a state park. Although he died before he could purchase the land, his wife purchased the falls and the surrounding it for $400,000 on March 10, 1930, after the Kentucky General Assembly (legislature) approved the creation of the state park. Cumberland Falls was dedicated as a state park at 1:30 p.m. on August 21, 1931.Following a $2 million renovation project in 2006, the park received an upgraded rating from two diamonds to three diamonds from the American Automobile Association (AAA) in 2007. Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park also received the upgraded rating. The two facilities were the first state resort parks to achieve the three-diamond rating following AAA's revision of its rating system in 2001.
