  • WCMG/BOA Presents our First Annual Cumberland Falls Moonbow Run! Join us on August 17th at 7:00PM as we ride our Home Trail here at the WCMG to Cumberland Falls State Resort Park on our First Annual Cumberland Falls Moonbow Run!

    What's a Moonbow? It is a Rainbow at Night created by the mist coming off of the Falls on a Full Moon! There are only 2 of these "Moonbows" in the World, Angel Falls in Africa, and the Niagara of the South Cumberland Falls right here in the Appalachian Mountains of South East Kentucky!

    About Cumberland Falls
    Cumberland Falls, sometimes called the Little Niagara, the Niagara of the South, or the Great Falls, is a waterfall on the Cumberland River in southeastern Kentucky. Spanning the river at the border of McCreary and Whitley counties, the waterfall is the central feature of Cumberland Falls State Resort Park and is part of the Office of Kentucky Nature Preserves designated Wild River System.

    It is believed the current falls formed as the result of erosion from its original starting place at an escarpment far downstream. The site of the falls was occupied in pre-modern times by a variety of indigenous peoples, and more recently has passed through multiple private owners until eventually being donated, along with surrounding land to Kentucky in 1933.

    Cumberland Falls is the highest flowing waterfall south of Niagara flowing 3,600 cubic feet of water per second that spills over the sandstone edge creating a formidable roar and a breathtaking sight, day or night. It is also produces one of the only Moonbows in the world which can be seen on a Full Moon!

    This is one ride or drive you do not want to miss as we answer this request from our motorsports community and take our first Ride/Drive on Copperhead Trail to see the "Moonbow"! All are welcome to join us as we take our first night ride/drive to Cumberland Falls!

    Let's Ride/Drive to Cumberland Falls Appalachia!
