The first visit we stayed during covid in December so it was just our group of 4 and one other couple staying in the resort. It was nice because it felt so private. We stayed in the resort rooms and we were surprised with how nice they are. Everything was clean. It was a bit small but we made it work. The second visit we stayed in their cabins and preferred it more. we got 2 bedrooms and each one had 2 beds so all of us slept comfortably. I loved that the cabin comes with a full kitchen and table so we spent our night playing board games. The park itself has so much to do. There are tons of hiking trails, horseback riding and even boat tours that take you up close to the waterfall. You have to go to the Moon bow at least once in your lifetime. It's when the moon hits the water at the right angle and you see a rainbow at night. It is a cool experience but it does get really crowded so you may want to come early. Cumberland Falls gave me unrealistic expectations for state parks because this what I feel like most state parks should be like.

We were only in the area for a few hours and a NP guide, Logan, recommended this hike because its…read moreshorter and it was getting late in the day. It was AWESOME!!!!! Im a little afraid of heights, and we did the trail counter clockwise. Im glad because if I had seen the arches from below first, I might have been scared to walk across them. On top of the first arch, on a very windy day, my brain saw the trees moving near the edge and it gave me a feeling that the ground was moving! We also went to the top of the 2nd arch, and we're rewarded with gorgeous views for miles in all directions. The pit toilets were very clean, and dare I say pleasantly scented? However there was no water, so pack sanitizer and extra water. It was 90 degrees in March! The dirt road to the trailhead was a little busy, be careful on blind corners and keep an eye out for mules pulling wagons. Gold star if you pull over and let the dust settle before they pass you by. I hope the rest of the park is as awe inspiring as this. We plan to cone back for a longer stay so we see more.

We took the Twin Arches Short Loop ( about 1.1 mi). I would recommend taking the loop clockwise,…read morethat way you see the arches and then explore around them, and the you take the stairs up onto the rocky arches and walk back to the parking area. The stairs are wooden, and so might be slippery when wet. The trail itself is pretty well marked and obvious even on the areas of bare rock. I didn't see any wildlife on my hike. The arches themselves are GORGEOUS. I don't think the photos do them justice. There's lots of nooks and crannies at the bases to explore too, almost cave-like at times. At the trailhead there's vault toilets (no running water-bring hand sanitizer!), a map of the trail, and picnic tables with warnings about not leaving food out as it attracts bears. Overall, this hike isn't too strenuous and the views are well worth it!

There's also a small separate lake for non-motorized craft. You can rent kayaks or bring your own for a small fee. Note that the segregated lake does not permit inflatable craft.

The swimming area is nice and has a paved bottom that slopes in towards a platform for jumping off etc. the bottom of the swim area can be slippery. There are also cabins for rent that look nice though we didn't stay in one. It's about 45 minutes from Knoxville. It's worth a visit.
