Falls Canyon Falls (“Hidden Falls”)
Falls Canyon Falls (also known as “Hidden Falls”) was an elusive waterfall that nearly defeated us as I’m sure it probably had many others. In fact, we weren’t even aware of the existence of this…
Bailey Canyon Falls
Bailey Canyon Falls was one of the locally obscure waterfalling excursions that we’ve done. We suspect that a large reason for this apparent obscurity was that it didn’t appear in any of our local…
Three Sisters Falls
Three Sisters Falls was probably the second most popular waterfall in San Diego County behind the neighboring Cedar Creek Falls. As you can see from the photos on this page, it was indeed an…
Cottonwood Creek Falls
Cottonwood Creek Falls was a series of small waterfalls hidden away in the desert-like terrain near Pine Valley well downslope of Mt Laguna. While you may look at the photo at the top of this page…
Jack Creek Falls
Jack Creek Falls was a bouldery waterfall that appeared to require some precise timing in order to see it perform. In our case, we thought that a series of saturation storms in the span of a…
San Juan Falls
San Juan Falls was one of those waterfalls that we had overlooked in all the years of waterfalling the Southland. Part of the reason why we hadn’t bothered to visit this waterfall for all these…
Cascade Falls
Cascade Falls was the lone waterfalling attractive that we were aware of in the state of Illinois. Unfortunately, as you can see from the photo at the top of this page, it wasn’t flowing. Given…
Upper Cataract Falls
Upper Cataract Falls was one of two waterfalls on Mill Creek in the Cataract Falls State Recreation Area (apparently it used to be part of the Lieber State Recreation Area) west of Indianapolis…
Lower Cataract Falls
Lower Cataract Falls was the other of two waterfalls on Mill Creek in the Cataract Falls State Recreation Area. In a way, this 18ft waterfall almost looked like a twin of the Upper Falls, but the…
Lanternman’s Falls
Lanternmans Falls (I’ve also seen it referred to as Lanternman’s Falls) was an interesting waterfall mainly due to its appearance right next to the historic Lanternman’s Mill with an attractive…
Paine Falls
Paine Falls was a very attractive wide waterfall that seemed to be tailor made for seeing it with fall colors as you can see in the photo at the top of this page. Indeed despite its modest size…
Brandywine Falls
Brandywine Falls was arguably the most significant and attractive waterfall remaining in the state of Ohio let alone the apparent main scenic attraction of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park…
Lower Tahquamenon Falls
Lower Tahquamenon Falls was the other of two major waterfalls featured along the Tahquamenon River in Tahquamenon Falls State Park. While the Upper Falls dazzled us with its size and classical…
Upper Tahquamenon Falls
The Upper Tahquamenon Falls (it rhymes with “phenomenon”) was easily the most impressive waterfall that we had seen for the entirety of our Great Lakes trip in 2015 that encompassed the Upper…
Spray Falls
Spray Falls was one of the more unique waterfalls that we’ve seen. I guess what made it so memorable was that it dropped 70ft directly into the turbulent southern shores of Lake Superior…
Agate Falls
Agate Falls was one of those elegant waterfalls that was well known in the literature thanks to a well-situated railroad bridge right above its main drop. For the longest time during my trip…
Munising Falls
Munising Falls was one of the more convenient waterfalls that we had visited while staying in the town of Munising, which was really our excuse to pass the time while awaiting our opportunity to…
Miners Falls
Miners Falls (I’ve also seen it referred to as Miner’s Falls) was a well-flowing 40ft waterfall (though I’ve seen inconsistent numbers from the NPS literature claiming 50ft and 60ft) in a pretty…
Wagner Falls
Wagner Falls was a small 20ft multi-tiered waterfall that was pretty convenient for us to visit. It was just outside the town limits of Munising, and we only needed to walk on a short trail and…
Superior Falls
Superior Falls was a rare interstate waterfall as it was shared between the states of Wisconsin and Michigan since it flowed on the Montreal River, which defined the border between the states near…
