Virginia: Great Falls of the Potomac - Straddling the border with Maryland, the Great Falls of the Potomac are the spot where the entirety of the Potomac River runs up against a series of rugged rocks and stones in Mather Gorge. The resulting whitewater is a truly remarkable sight, one that was most certainly also appreciated by George Washington, who directed the construction of locks and dams near the falls. Have you ever been to this waterfall?

Washington: Palouse Falls - Dropping over 200 feet, Palouse Falls sits surrounded by a set of striking cliffs, which makes its descent all the more dramatic. After the Palouse River takes its trip over the rim of the falls, it carries on its journey down a twisty canyon, only adding to the natural beauty of the scene. Have you ever been to this waterfall?

West Virginia: Blackwater Falls - Blackwater Falls owes its unique dark color to red spruce and hemlock needles that run into the water, a characteristic that has helped make this 60 feet tall fall one of the state's most beloved natural attractions. Hike around the falls or just stroll down to one of the handy observation decks for prime views of water flowing over the rocks. Have you ever been to this waterfall?

Wisconsin: Little Manitou Falls - It may sound counter-intuitive, but of the two amazing waterfalls inside Pattison State Park, it's the smaller one that is slightly more scenic. Little Manitou Falls only drops 30 feet, but it's the way the stream splits dramatically that manages to capture the imagination. Make sure to check out Big Manitou Falls while you're here though, after all, it is the tallest in the state. Have you ever been to this waterfall?
