Voting began May 1 and will be open through May 31. Those who wish to vote can do so by visiting www.kentuckyliving.com. Individuals can vote once a day during the contest period.

Cumberland Falls State Resort Park has a long history of being featured in the contest. Most recently, it took first place for long weekend getaway and third place for place for adventure in 2021, second place for day trip in 2020 and second place for both long weekend getaway and day trip in 2019. The park is already a part of Kentucky Living’s Hall of Fame for the scenic view category. A location is entered into the hall of fame by winning first place in the same category for three consecutive years. Kentucky Living’s Hall of Fame is a forever honor.
