Kentucky State Park Leads National Contest for Best Fall Colors
Frankfort, KY- A picture of Cumberland Falls from Cumberland Falls State Resort Park is leading a nationwide photo contest for the best fall colors. State tourism officials are encouraging everyone to vote for Kentucky to help retain the top spot.
“Once people see the beauty of Kentucky, they will come explore our state and will likely keep coming back,” said Tourism Commissioner Randy Fiveash. “Kentucky is known for many things, but our state’s natural beauty is one of our strongest selling points. I encourage all Kentuckians to vote to keep Cumberland Falls in the top spot.”
The photo contest is being sponsored by CNN.com. Voting takes place at: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2006/exploring.autumn/your.picks/. Cumberland Falls is competing against 19 other pictures from across the country. The Cumberland Falls photo is in the lower right hand corner.

Cumberland Falls is the largest waterfall south of Niagara Falls and is home to the only Moonbow in the Western Hemisphere. Visitors can not only travel to see the falls in all its fall glory, they can also stay at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park and enjoy an extended visit to the falls.
