坎伯兰瀑布(英语:Cumberland Falls)是位于美国肯塔基州东南部坎伯兰河上的一个瀑布,总高度69英尺(21米)。该瀑布横跨麦克雷里郡惠特利郡边界,是坎伯兰瀑布州立度假村公园英语Cumberland Falls State Resort Park的景观。[1]

坎伯兰瀑布所在地曾被美洲原住民占据,之后又经过多个私人土地所有者的控制,[2]直到1933年该瀑布与周围的土地一起捐赠给肯塔基州。

它是西半球唯一经常可见月虹的地方。[3]

据信,坎伯兰瀑布起源于肯塔基州伯恩赛德附近的波茨维尔悬崖,并在上游约45英里(72公里)处退缩至当前位置。在退缩过程中,瀑布切割了现在的坎伯兰河峡谷,深度达400英尺(120米)。[4][5]
