Nature and landscape
Cumberland Falls
Cumberland Falls, often called Great Falls, are a visual and sound force in the state park, with a mass of water that organizes all the surrounding space. The trails and viewpoints give different frames according to the light, making each passage distinct.
Nature and landscape
Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area
The Big South Fork protects the valley and tributaries of Cumberland, in connection with a history marked by mining and forestry cycles. The landscape mixes water streams, bridges, ancient traces of campgrounds and canyon silence, ideal for a slow reading of the territory.
Nature and landscape
Yahoo Falls
Yahoo Falls falls into a wooded gorge, with a retreat that forces to look towards the void and the damp strata of the forest. The access trail leads to a wide recess behind the waterfall, particularly alive in rain.
