8 Beautiful Waterfalls NOT Named Niagara

Amicalola Falls Dawsonville Georgia

Great Falls of the Passaic Paterson New Jersey

Pounding into a basalt chasm barely 18 miles from Times Square, these powerful falls at 77 feet are the centerpiece of our newest national historical park.

Falling Waters Falls Chipley Florida

At 73 feet, the highest waterfall in Florida may also be the lowest: It drops into a 100-foot sinkhole, then drains into a limestone cavern.

Cedar Falls Logan Ohio

About an hour south of Columbus, Cedar Falls resembles a giant 50-foot ladle, narrowing at the point where the water makes its final drop.

Marvel Cave Falls Branson Missouri

Located in a cave 500 feet below ground, the 50-foot falls are included with admission to the Silver Dollar City theme park. See also: Branson travel guide

Cowley Lake Waterfall Dexter Kansas

True fact: Science has proven Kansas is flatter than a pancake — still, Cowley Lake spills over a ledge at 20 feet and into a wood-shaded stream below.

Multnomah Falls Bridal Veil Oregon

Pull off I-84 about 30 miles east of Portland and you'll find yourself a five-minute walk from one of the tallest (at 611 feet), most dramatic falls in the country.
