Information only

WaterfallsNearYou.com publishes waterfall locations and related information for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this site is professional, legal, medical or safety advice.

Outdoor activities carry risk

Visiting waterfalls involves real hazards, including slippery and unstable rock, steep drop-offs, cold and fast-moving water, flash floods, falling debris, wildlife, extreme weather and remote terrain without phone service. Serious injuries and deaths occur at waterfalls every year. You are solely responsible for your own safety and the safety of anyone with you. Never climb on waterfalls, stand at the brink, or enter the water above a drop. Read our waterfall safety guide before you go.

Access and private property

Listing a waterfall on this site does not mean it is open to the public, reachable by trail, or legal to visit. Some named waterfalls are on private property, tribal land, restricted watersheds or closed areas. Always obey posted signs and closures, and confirm access with the landowner or managing agency before visiting. Trespassing is your responsibility.

Accuracy of data

Waterfall names and coordinates come from the U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System, and town data comes from GeoNames. These sources can contain errors, and a recorded position may differ from a waterfall's actual location or from the nearest trailhead or parking area. Distances shown are straight-line estimates. Business details such as hours, ratings, phone numbers, websites and photos are drawn from publicly available Google Maps listing data and may be outdated. We make no warranty of any kind about the completeness, accuracy, reliability or availability of any information on this site.

Maps and directions

Links to Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap and The National Map are provided for convenience. Navigation apps may route you along unsafe, seasonal or private roads. Carry a current map, check road and trail conditions, and use your own judgment.
