Twin Falls
Twin Falls was a waterfall that was so named because it used to have two side-by-side plunges at a split in the Snake River. Of course, when we saw it in April 2013, there was only one of the two…
Perrine Coulee Falls
Perrine Coulee Falls was probably the surprise waterfall of the Twin Falls area for us. While the neighboring Snake River Waterfalls were tampered with, this one seemed to be left to flow naturally…
Foster Falls
Foster Falls was the last waterfall we saw on our Appalachians 2012 trip, and it was a fine way to cap it off! Even though the Foster Falls Wild Area is better known to climbers looking for a…
Ruby Falls
Ruby Falls was perhaps the most anticipated waterfall of our 2012 Appalachians trip. As with most things in life, when you anticipate something, it generally means you’re imposing some lofty…
High Falls (Rock City)
High Falls (which also goes by the name Lover’s Leap) is an artificial waterfall and is arguably the signature attraction of the Rock City Lookout and Gardens on the Georgia side of Lookout Mount…
Bald River Falls
Bald River Falls was certainly one of the easiest waterfalls we’ve visited in the Southern Appalachians.That was because it was visible right off a road bridge adjacent to a parking area…
Falls Creek Falls
Falls Creek Falls is said to be the highest free-leaping waterfall east of the Mississippi River at about 256ft (according to the signs here). If there happens to be enough water, then a second…
Cane Creek Falls, Rockhouse Creek Falls, Cane Creek Cascade
Cane Creek Falls is said to be an 85ft waterfall on Cane Creek, which is responsible for the deep Cane Creek Gorge of which is one of the main features of Falls Creek Falls State Resort Park…
Piney Creek Falls
Piney Creek Falls (also known as just Piney Falls) is somewhat of a hidden 95ft waterfall tucked away off the one-way Gorge Scenic Drive Motor Nature Trail. While most of the waterfalling action…
Burgess Falls
I believe Burgess Falls is actually a series of waterfalls on the Falling Water River. However, it generally refers to only the largest of the waterfalls, which has an unusual shape (almost…
Cummins Falls
Cummins Falls was one of those waterfalls where there were two ways to experience the falls – a fairly quick and easy look-but-don’t-touch way or a much more difficult up-close-and-personal way…
Ozone Falls
Ozone Falls was a pretty, plunging 110ft waterfall that seemed to be a good place for a little adventure especially when making the drive between Nashville and Knoxville along the I-40 corridor…
Upper Piney Falls
Upper Piney Falls was a pretty 80ft waterfall that we got to walk behind. In an effort to avoid confusion, we’re sticking with designating the main waterfalls on this page the Upper and Lower…
Seventy Six Falls
Seventy Six Falls was kind of an ominous waterfall for us because we noticed three shrines or crosses that we believe commemorated loved ones who probably lost their lives here. After our visit to…
Mammoth Cave Waterfalls
It might be a stretch to include a page on Mammoth Cave Waterfalls, but they do have a little historical significance even though they may be hard to photograph. The main reason why I’m including a…
Slave Falls
Slave Falls was a trickling waterfall during our visit in Autumn 2012. Based on this experience, I’d have to say you have to come during Spring or immediately after a significant rain event if you…
Cumberland Falls
Cumberland Falls definitely has to be up there when it comes to our favorite waterfalls of the South. With a classical rectangular shape that bears a strong resemblance to the Horseshoe Falls…
Eagle Falls
Eagle Falls is a light-flowing and short 44ft waterfall adding its output to the Cumberland River from its west bank just downstream of Cumberland Falls. It’s certainly an easily overlooked…
Yahoo Falls
Yahoo Falls maybe considered the tallest waterfall in the state of Kentucky at 113ft, but given its seasonal and light flowing nature, that title may still not warrant a visit unless there had been…
Mingo Falls
Mingo Falls is probably hands down the most scenic waterfall in the vinicity of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (at least based on our research of the waterfalls in the park and our field…
