Williamsburg
is the county seat of Whitley County, which is located in southeast Kentucky. The population of the town is about 5,000 residents. Williamsburg is a scenic town, nestled in the foothills, with the Cumberland River flowing through it. The city bills itself as the "Gateway to the Cumberlands," which includes the Cumberland River, Cumberland Falls, Lake Cumberland and the University of the Cumberlands. The town itself is home to the Kentucky Splash Water Park, which is located within the Hal Rogers Family Entertainment Center. This modern facility features not only the water park, but also a go-cart course, a miniature golf course, and a five-station batting cage. Just 18 miles away from Williamsburg is Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in the Daniel Boone National Forest. This is where you'll find the spectacular Cumberland Falls, often referred to as "Little Niagara," or the "Niagara of the South." The falls is one of the only places in the Western Hemisphere where a moon bow or lunar rainbow is regularly visible on a clear night with a full moon. There are hiking trails in the park on either side of the river that lead to smaller falls, and kayaking and white water rafting are in the river. The town of Williamsburg is also only 20 minutes from the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River, a major tributary of the Cumberland River and a class 3-4 whitewater rafting, canoeing and kayaking stream.
