Eagle Falls (Kentucky)

Eagle Falls is a waterfall located in McCreary County, Kentucky, within the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. It is a relatively small but scenic waterfall, formed where Eagle Creek plunges over a sandstone cliff. The falls are accessible via a hiking trail that winds through a wooded area, providing views of the surrounding forest and the creek.

The area surrounding Eagle Falls offers opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying the natural beauty of the Big South Fork region. The falls themselves are a popular spot for photography, particularly during periods of high water flow when the falls are most impressive.

While not as large or widely known as some other waterfalls in Kentucky, Eagle Falls is a worthwhile destination for visitors to the Big South Fork area seeking a short, easy hike to a picturesque natural landmark. Information on trail access and current conditions can be obtained from the National Park Service.
