Known as the “Niagara of the South,” Cumberland Falls is a must-see with its powerful 70-foot drop. The state park also features other waterfalls like Eagle Falls, and during a full moon, it's one of the few places in the world where you can witness a rare moonbow. Easy trails lead to great viewpoints, and the surrounding park offers plenty of quiet spots by the river. Best visited after heavy rain for peak flow.

Cumberland Falls Campground is a solid choice for camping, with prices starting at $22 per night. Other campground options are also available nearby if you prefer something different.
