About this spot
Bark Camp Branch Falls lies along Bark Camp Creek in the Daniel Boone National Forest, about 15 miles southwest of Corbin, KY, reached via USFS Trail #413 (Bark Camp Trail) off Forest Road 4180. The creek is a managed Class II trout stream with a stair-step cascade near its mouth and a smaller falls partway along the ~5-mile out-and-back hike. Sources describe it as a hiking and fly-fishing destination, not a documented swimming hole or jump spot — no plunge-pool or cliff-jumping references were found. Public national forest land, moderate hike, dog-friendly trail.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
