17 Scenic Waterfalls to Visit on Kentucky's Wildlands Trail
Kentucky recently launched the [[Kentucky Wildlands Waterfall Trail]], a curated route linking 17 notable cascades across the rugged southern and eastern stretches of the [[Bluegrass State]]. The trail highlights a mix of well-known and lesser-seen falls — from the 113-foot [[Yahoo Falls]] to the thunderous [[Cumberland Falls]], nicknamed the 'Niagara of the South' — and includes swimming spots and staircase-style drops such as [[Jenny Wiley Falls]] and the 60-foot flume at [[Bad Branch Falls]]. Many sites offer guided details, downloadable maps, parking tips, and difficulty ratings on the Kentucky Wildlands website, and several approaches are ADA-accessible (including paved overlooks to [[Flat Lick Falls]]), making the itinerary suitable for casual visitors, road-trippers, and people using mobility devices seeking accessible outdoor adventure.
