==Points of interest== Williamsburg is home to the [[Kentucky Splash Waterpark]] (located within the [[Hal Rogers]] Family Entertainment Center). The $5 million facility also houses a go-cart course, a miniature golf course, and a five-station batting cage. The park opened on Memorial Day weekend 2001 and is the largest family entertainment center in Kentucky with a capacity of up to 3,000 guests.<ref>{{cite web|date=3 October 2021|title=Kentucky Splash Waterpark|url=http://www.williamsburgky.com/departments/kentucky_splash_waterpark/index.php|access-date=3 October 2021|website=williamsburgky}}</ref> Williamsburg is located {{convert|18|mi|km}} away [[Cumberland Falls State Resort Park]] within the [[Daniel Boone National Forest]]. The park is the home of [[Cumberland Falls]], sometimes called the Little Niagara, the Niagara of the South or the Great Falls and is the only venue in the Western Hemisphere where a [[moonbow]] or [[lunar rainbow]] is regularly visible on a clear night with a full moon.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kentuckysplash.com/pages.php?goto=Area%20Attractions|title=Kentucky Splash Waterpark}}</ref> On average the falls, which flow over a resistant sandstone bed, are 68 feet (21 m) high and 125 feet (38 m) wide, with an average water flow of {{convert|3600|cuft|m3}} per second (100 m<sup>3</sup>/s).Trails winding downstream from the park on either side of the river lead to the smaller Angel Falls and Dog Slaughter Falls. Angel Falls is located {{convert|1.5|mi|km}} from the park on the McCreary County side and Dog Slaughter Falls is located {{convert|3.5|mi|km}} from the park on the Whitley County side. The Below the Falls section of the river includes a five-mile (8 km) long class 2β3 run that is ideal for families and beginner stage white water rafters and kayakers. Williamsburg is located 20 minutes away from the [[Big South Fork of the Cumberland River]], a major tributary of the Cumberland River system and a class 3β4 whitewater canoeing and kayaking stream. The Big South Fork is also home to [[Yahoo Falls]], which stand 113 feet (34.8 m) high. Further along, the trail leads to the [[Yahoo Arch]]. Williamsburg is also home to one of the top bluegrass festivals in the state of Kentucky (the Sally Gap Bluegrass Festival). Other events are the Jeep Jamboree (an off-road sporting event), and the Border Bowl, an annual event for two teams of high school footballers representing Kentucky and Tennessee.
