Cumberland Falls in Kentucky is our state's largest waterfall and is also home to the rare moonbow phenomenon.

Whether or not you see the actual moonbow, a nighttime visit to Cumberland Falls is a magical experience.
Many hike along the easy trail to view it, but SUP Kentucky offers a unique opportunity to see the falls at night, right from the water. The Moonbow Guided Tour aboard stand up paddle boards is a wonderful adventure to have in the Bluegrass.
