Multiple Falls
Connestee Falls is an 85-foot waterfall near Brevard. It’s easily viewed from the top 50-yard boardwalk to the overlook with the crest of the waterfall just to the left. There are actually two waterfalls here, each on a separate creek. At the overlook, stand at the top of Connestee Falls on Carson Creek. Across the gorge, Batson Creek Falls cascades down to meet Connestee.

Due to the height of the Houston Water Wall, it almost seems like a man-made waterfall

Mini Waterfalls in the Garden
As you walk through the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco, the harmonious blend of meticulously manicured landscapes, cascading mini-waterfalls, tranquil ponds, vibrant flowers, and traditional architecture creates an ambiance that soothes the soul.
Lower Level Asygarth Falls
Aysgarth Falls is actually a series of three main waterfalls, which the signs referred to them as Upper, Middle, and Lower. Rather than being dramatic drops over a cliff, these waterfalls are really more like cascades that might be friendly for photography enthusiasts. The Lower Falls offer a place to walk on the rocks along the river and view the River Ure flowing downstream.
Asygarth Falls in Yorkshire Dales
Aysgarth Falls are a triple flight of waterfalls, surrounded by woodland and farmland, carved out by the River Ure over an almost one-mile stretch on its descent to mid-Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales of England, near the village of Aysgarth. A rustic stone bridge over River Ure is reminiscent of olden days. We will post over the coming days various views of these falls.
Orchid Displays
The William H. Williamson, III, Orchid Conservatory at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden features a waterfall with showy blooming orchids and tropical plants against a backdrop of rock designs.
Awed by the Falls
Families with small children frequent Hickory Nut Falls at Chimney Rock State Park, North Carolina, as one young explorer is awed by the waterfall and the other one wants to go closer.
Exploring the Falls
Hickory Nut Falls trail’s main destination is to the base of the waterfalls. It is relatively safe to rock-hop and explore the stream right at the base of the falls since it is flat there, but it is generally frowned upon. Adventurers cross the base and even use it as a photo shoot!
Silky Water Flow
Hickory Nut Falls in Chimney Rock State Park, North Carolina is a rather light-flowing and feathery falls flowing through granite rocks. It’s hard to say whether this is a seasonal waterfall or just a light-flowing one that happens to be year-round.
Hickory Nut Falls
Hickory Nut Falls is a waterfall located at Chimney Rock State Park in North Carolina. The 404-ft. tall Hickory Nut Falls is one of the highest waterfalls east of the Mississippi, made more notable by its appearance in the movie The Last of the Mohicans.
La Fortuna Waterfall
La Fortuna Waterfall is in central Costa Rica. In Spanish, it is known as Catarata Fortuna. The waterfall drops about 70−75 meters and is at the base of the dormant Chato volcano, near the Arenal. The waterfall is one of the must-see attractions in the La Fortuna area and the waterfall hike, about 500 steps down and then back up, is well worth the effort. Attractive rest stops along the steps allow for necessary respite.
Two Falls
Linville Falls has two sections – Upper and Lower – and can be viewed from four vantage points. Linville Falls thunders through a towering cliff before pooling in a deep, wide basin below the waterfall and flowing downriver through the 12-mile gorge.
Bridal Veil Falls, North Carolina
Bridal Veil Falls near Highlands has been famous for generations as the only waterfall in North Carolina you can drive behind. However, the section of road behind the falls is now blocked off from automobiles for safety. This allows you to walk behind and enjoy it more. The 60-ft. waterfall in Nantahala National Forest doesn’t have a large volume of water (unless it’s right after a big rain), making it safe and fun to stand behind.
