Virginia's waterfalls run through the Blue Ridge and the Appalachian Plateau in the far southwest. Crabtree Falls in Nelson County is a 5-waterfall series totaling 1,200 feet of vertical drop — the highest cascade fall in the eastern US. Apple Orchard Falls in the Jefferson National Forest near the Peaks of Otter is a 150-foot free fall on the Appalachian Trail. The Cascades near Pembroke in Giles County is an 18-mile round trip to a 66-foot waterfall in the Jefferson National Forest. Falling Spring Falls near Covington is a 200-foot roadside waterfall that Thomas Jefferson called one of the most beautiful sights in Virginia.

Waterfall flow varies by season — spring snowmelt produces peak flows. Check trail conditions before visiting remote sites. Some falls are seasonal and may be dry in late summer. Explore all waterfalls on the Trek4Free map →
