Orin Falls turns Maine’s Katahdin Woods and Waters into a 6-mile waterfall outing with only 87 ft of gain. Easy terrain, big glacial boulders, and a fall-road-trip feel. 📷 NPS / R. Wang or Alyssa Mattei; Public Domain. #MaineWaterfalls

Silver Falls is still reachable at Mount Rainier in 2026. Start at Grove of the Patriarchs and use the Eastside Trail for ~1 mile round trip. The Ohanapecosh trailhead is closed, so it's an out-and-back this year. 📷 VitaleBaby / Public Domain #MountRainier

Abrams Falls is still open for weekend waterfall hikes in the Smokies. Through Sept. 30, the 5-mile trail is closed Mon–Thu and open Fri–Sun. Swimming is strongly discouraged because of dangerous currents. 📷 Chris M Morris / CC BY 2.0 #AbramsFalls

Buttermilk Falls is more than one cascade: its Gorge Trail climbs 600 ft past pools, sculpted rock and several waterfalls.

All trails are currently reported open as Finger Lakes fall season approaches.

Nebraska’s tallest waterfall is a 63-ft spring-fed surprise along the Niobrara.
Smith Falls already has an accessible boardwalk, and the park just added adult + child GRIT all-terrain wheelchairs for visitors with mobility challenges.

Fall begins at Paradise in September 🍂
Myrtle Falls pairs a 60-ft cascade with Mount Rainier. The approach to Edith Creek is short and paved, but the classic full-waterfall viewpoint requires steep stairs.

Brandywine Falls drops 60 ft through Cuyahoga Valley NP, with boardwalk viewpoints and a no-stairs viewing option. NPS highlights the gorge’s fall color; parking is limited, so early or later visits are smarter. 📷 NPS / D.J. Reiser — Public Domain #OhioWaterfalls

Sandstone Falls spans 1,500 ft across West Virginia’s New River. A short accessible boardwalk crosses islands to waterfall viewpoints, and the park is fee-free. A beautiful New River Gorge stop as fall approaches. 📷 NPS / Dave Bieri — Public Domain #SandstoneFalls

[FallsHunter @fallshunters]

Kaaterskill Falls + Catskills fall color = a trip worth planning. 🍂

Oneida Falls is one of 22 named waterfalls at Ricketts Glen State Park, PA. Fall makes this an incredible waterfall day—but the Falls Trail is real hiking: steep, rocky and often wet. Put this one on the list when waterfalls can be the destination. #RickettsGlen
