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.

 The falls gradually flows over 125-feet of wide granite. The water stays on the rock for the entire drop.

  • Cascade: Water descends a series of rock steps
  • Fan: Water spreads horizontally as it descends while remaining in contact with bedrock
ACCESSIBILITY: Trails pass four falls, Triple Falls, Hooker Falls, Bridal Falls, and High Falls. Handicap parking is available at High Falls or Hooker Falls. ADA trails lead to the overlook that allows full view of the entire falls and a second view from the covered bridge at the top of the falls. Connected ADA trails pass High Falls and Hooker Falls.
