About This Trail

Eagle Falls Trail leads to a beautiful 44-foot waterfall on Eagle Creek, located just downstream from the famous Cumberland Falls. The short trail descends through forest to viewpoints of the falls, which cascade over a rock ledge into a scenic pool. The falls can also be viewed from below by accessing the Cumberland River shoreline. This trail makes an excellent addition to a visit to Cumberland Falls, offering a second waterfall experience with less crowding than the main attraction. The forest along the trail supports diverse plant life, and the creek provides habitat for various wildlife species.
