Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

FALLING SPRINGS CREEK - Chambersburg, PA











In the middle of the Civil War rich colonial town of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania is a small park call Fort Chambers Park. Falling Spring Creek flows into the Conococheague Creek. Conococheague Creek starts in Chambersburg, and then flows into the Potomac River.








Benjamin Chambers Fort (1756-1760) was a settler's stone house, sawmill, and gristmill surrounded by a stockade.

The old water wheel was part of the original Gristmill.




ACCESSIBILITY: Starting at the parking lots handicap parking sign, paved walkways and bridges cross the springs. Observation areas allow a closer look at the water wheel and waterfall.
