Steve’s take
About 20 minutes off I-75, Cumberland Falls is the Niagara of the South. It's one of only two places on earth where you can see a moonbow — a rainbow made by moonlight. Will you see one today? Probably not. But the waterfall is spectacular, the kids can throw rocks in the river, and you'll get the best family photo of the whole trip. The detour is worth it if your schedule allows.
