Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located in the Big South Fork National Recreation Area in McCreary County, Kentucky, Yahoo Falls is a 113-foot waterfall and the tallest waterfall in the state. Also known as Ywahoo Falls, the seasonal waterfall has a light flow with just a trickle in summer and is best seen after a significant rainfall. Yahoo Falls can be viewed from a scenic trail that winds from the highway along the Red River Gorge to the falls, passing some interesting sights such as the Yahoo Arch, which can be reached by an out and back spur path, adding another 1.6-mile round trip to the existing hike to view Yahoo Falls.
