Daniel Boone National Forest, KY - Cumberland Falls and Dog Slaughter Falls
May 4, 2014
On our second day of our hiking trip, we went back to Cumberland Falls to see it in the daylight. It is the most moving water that I've ever seen!

There is a hiking trail on this side of the river that follows the river downstream that will eventually lead to Dog Slaughter Falls. However, after a long day of hiking yesterday, the 8.5 miles round trip didn't sound too good to us. We instead learned about a much shorter trail, about two miles round trip, that also led to the falls. This trail ended up being my mom's favorite hike. It followed Dog Slaughter Creek almost the entire hike down to the falls.
The base of the waterfall had some large boulders that were a perfect spot for a snack to view the waterfall.

| Even though it was the smallest waterfall of our trip, it was really pretty and a great way to end our adventure. |
Notes to parents: The Dog Slaughter Falls trail had lots of roots that could make keeping your footing troublesome at times. There were many sections of the trail that followed the creek that had steep drop-offs into the creek. There also were a few stream crossing that could be slick. Overall though the trail was perhaps the most family friendly hike of the weekend.
