About Waterfalls Directory

We're building the most comprehensive, trip-ready waterfall guide for adventurers across America.

Our Mission

Waterfalls have a way of stopping us in our tracks. There's something magical about watching water cascade over ancient rocks, feeling the mist on your face, and hearing the thunderous roar echo through a gorge.

We believe everyone deserves to experience that magic—whether you're a family looking for an easy roadside stop, a photographer chasing the perfect shot, or a serious hiker seeking backcountry solitude.

Discover. Plan. Explore.

What Makes Us Different

Trip-Ready Information

Every listing answers "Can I go here this weekend?" with real details on parking, fees, and trail conditions.

Family-Focused

We highlight kid-friendly, stroller-accessible, and wheelchair-accessible waterfalls because adventure is for everyone.

Honest Difficulty Ratings

Our ratings consider elevation, terrain, and real-world conditions—not just distance.

Current Conditions

We update trail status regularly so you don't drive two hours to find a closed trail.

Our Story

Waterfalls Directory started as a personal project to document waterfall hikes in North Carolina. After visiting dozens of falls and struggling to find reliable information online, we decided to build the resource we wished existed.

We're starting with the Southeast and expanding state by state, ensuring every region gets the depth and attention it deserves. Quality over quantity—always.
