Cumberland Falls State Resort Park is a park located just southwest of Corbin, Kentucky and is contained entirely within the Daniel Boone National Forest.^[1] The park encompasses 1,657 acres (7 km²) and is named for its major feature, 68-foot (21 m) tall Cumberland Falls.

Following a $2 million renovation project in 2006, AAA upgraded its rating of the park from two diamonds to three diamonds. Cumberland Falls SRP and Kentucky Dam Village SRP are the first two state resort parks to achieve a three diamond rating since AAA revised its rating system in 2001.^[2]
