Livingston sits in the middle of Upper Cumberland waterfall country. Burgess Falls is the big one, 136 feet at the end of a mile and a half of trail. Cummins Falls draws the summer crowds to the swimming hole under its 75 foot drop. Seventy Six Falls, over the Kentucky line near Lake Cumberland, plunges 76 feet a few steps from the car. Virgin Falls repays a real effort, 8.2 miles and 1,200 feet of climb to watch 110 feet of water pour out of a cave and vanish underground again.
