坎伯兰峡(英语:Cumberland Gap,或Cumberland Water Gap),海拔490米,是阿帕拉契山脉坎伯兰山区(Cumberland Mountains)的一个通道,它连接了田纳西州肯塔基州以及维吉尼亚州。它是美国拓荒史中著名荒野之路(Wilderness Road)的一部分,现为坎伯兰峡国家历史公园(Cumberland Gap National Historical Park)的一部分。

历史

美洲原住民长久以来使用坎伯兰峡往来交通。1770年,维吉尼亚州的探险家汤玛斯·沃克(Thomas Walker)首次记录了这个峡口。

1775年,丹尼尔·布恩成功通过坎伯兰峡,开通了日后称为荒野之路的通商路线,最终使肯塔基联邦加入美国联邦之中。
