Cumberland Falls State Resort Park named top attraction site

CORBIN, Ky. (WYMT) - In the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, people do not have any shortage of outdoor attractions, but now the mountains can claim the honor of having one of the best outdoor attractions in the world.

In July, the Cumberland Falls State Resort Park was awarded the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for 2024.

The honor places the park among the top 10 percent of attractions worldwide.

Officials of the park said that honor would not be possible without the people in the community.

“We have people that come back and my position is very rewarding to see the little kids come back and maybe they are older and they come back and get married here and have their wedding, later have a family reunion here,” said Park Supervisor Jehan Abuzour. “So, it is all about making that mark and getting them to come back.”

The park is also home to the biggest waterfall in the state.
