Kentucky is kind of famous for its waterfalls, with the Bluegrass boasting one of the only falls in the world where a moonbow occurs regularly. But there are many, many more cascades in the Bluegrass State: tall falls, cave falls, and even waterfalls that will have you seeing double! Kentucky truly is a waterfall chaser’s dream, and while many of the state’s finest falls require some adventurous acumen and ability, there are some hiding in plain sight for all to admire. Which brings us to today’s destination: the waterfall at Cove Spring Park in Frankfort, which is perhaps Kentucky’s most accessible waterfall.
This waterfall is one of the most beautiful in Kentucky – and it’s hiding right in plain sight, for all to enjoy.

The park spans both sides of US 127, with a “Upper” and “Lower” side. It’s a popular place for all sorts of outdoor recreation: hiking, birding, and even creek stomping!

But if it’s a jaw-dropping waterfall you’re seeking, there’s nothing quite like the falls located in the “Lower” side of Cove Spring Park. Cascading down a rocky ravine and into the babbling brook below, it’s a scene sure to stop you in your tracks.
