Eastern US Waterfalls: Nature's Power and Grace in the Cradle of America

Eastern US Waterfalls aren't what one normally thinks of when it comes to this part of the States.

But believe it or not, this region contains more than history, colonial architecture, and urban sprawl. In fact, there's a surprising amount of nature, and this is especially true of waterfalls east of the Mississippi River.

We're defining the Eastern United States as anywhere east of the Rocky Mountain States from the Great Plains (North Dakota down to Texas) all the way to the Atlantic Seaboard. So far, we've only been to New York, but we look forward to more waterfall surprises that this region of our country has in store for us.

EASTERN US WATERFALLS

Below are the Eastern US Waterfalls that we have been to. Click on a region or a waterfall for more details about them.

New York: While the name New York conjures nicknames like the "Big Apple" or the "city that never sleeps" as well as big city icons such as Times Square, Broadway, the Yankees, the Knicks, Wall Street, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty, it's refreshing to see even a developed state like this has nature. And waterfalls of New York are your ticket to finding such nature to escape the functional but chaotic urban jungle.

Reader Submissions: We can't possibly visit every single waterfall in the Eastern United States. Fortunately, there are readers kind enough to share their knowledge and experiences by writing up their own guides for those waterfalls that we haven't been to.
