  • Cumberland Plateau Geological History
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area Oneida, Tennessee Geology and History of the Cumberland Plateau Geological History Rising over 1000 feet above the region around it, the Cumberland Plateau is a large, flat-topped tableland. Deceptively rugged, the Plateau has often acted as a barrier to man and nature’s attempts to overcome it. The Plateau is characterized by rugged terrain, a moderate climate, and abundant rainfall. Although the soils are typically thin and infertile, the area was once covered by a dense hardwood forest equal to that of the Appalachians less than sixty miles to the east. As a landform, this great plateau reaches from north-central Alabama through Tennessee and Kentucky and Pennsylvania to the western New York border. Geographers call this landform the Appalachian Plateau, although it is known by various names as it passes through the differ­ ent regions. In Tennessee and Kentucky, it is called the Cumberland Plateau. Within this region, the Cumberland River and its tributaries are formed. A view from any over- look quickly confirms that the area is indeed a plateau. The adjoining ridges are all the same height, presenting a flat horizon. The River Systems The Clear Fork River and the New River come together to form the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River, the third largest tributary to the Cumberland. The Big South Fork watershed drains an area of 1382 square Leatherwood Ford in the evening sun miles primarily in Scott, Fentress, and Morgan counties in Tennessee and Wayne and Overlooks McCreary counties in Kentucky.

  • Hiking to Eagle Falls
    Hiking to Eagle Falls Eagle Falls, located in Corbin, Kentucky, within Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, is a 44-foot tall waterfall that tumbles from Eagle Creek and lands on the rocky shore of Cumberland River. Eagle Falls can be accessed by hiking Trail 9 located off Kentucky Route 90 in the park. The trail to reach Eagle Falls is 1.5 miles long (or 2.4 km) and offers beautiful scenery, including some of the best views of the famous Cumberland Falls. While Cumberland Falls is the definite headliner of the park, Eagle Falls is more than worth the hike. As soon as you hit the trailhead, you'll be able to see Cumberland Falls to your right and hear its mighty rumble. The trail continues on and meanders the cliffline, so watch your footing carefully and mind children. The trail is well-marked and easy to follow, but there are some challenging portions. Do not bring a stroller or wheel chair as there are many steps to climb and debris to surmount. Continue following the rail until you reach Eagle Falls. Your options at the end of the trail are to simply turn back around and hike back out or to stay and explore the immediate area for a bit. There are, however, no further official trails leading from Eagle Falls. Visit Day's RV Sales Day's RV Sales, also located in Corbin, Kentucky, would love to serve as your base of operations as you explore the region, including Eagle Falls. Stop by Day's RV Sales for RV sales, service, parts, and accessories.
