Eagle Falls is a smaller plunge waterfall in Kentucky, with a drop of about 44 ft.
Eagle Falls sits on Eagle Creek (tributary of Cumberland River). It lies in McCreary, Kentucky. The site is on public land managed by Kentucky State Parks (Cumberland Falls State Resort Park).
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.8 miles round trip. The nearest town is Corbin.
When to go: Spring (highest flow). Like most waterfalls, Eagle Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
