Pikeville sits deep in the eastern Kentucky coalfields, where hollows hide more falls than the maps admit, and five make this page. Tank Hollow Falls is the family pick, 1.5 easy miles with dogs allowed. Monkey Falls and Big Falls each ask 2 miles and about 300 feet of climbing. Caney Falls and the Falls of Buffalo remain names without measurements in our file. Water here follows rain off the ridges, so going a day or two after a storm doubles what you see.

Located at 37.4806°N, -82.5262°W
