The highlight of any vacation, no matter where you go, is enjoying all the natural attractions. If you love waterfalls, our nation is a fantastic place to explore them. Yet, many of the country’s most beautiful and impressive waterfalls require hiking.

So, whether you don’t have time for a hike, aren’t physically able to, or simply don’t enjoy it, you can still see these 8 incredible roadside waterfalls throughout the US.

You should also include Gooseberry Falls in Minnesota on the North Shore!!! It’s as scenic as any others you mentioned!!!!
Hi Kevin! Thanks so much for your feedback. We’ll be sure to include Gooseberry Falls on our next list.
Absolutely! But most falls here require hiking.
You really need to come on out to the Pacific Northwest!!!! Some of biggest, ‘right on the road’ waterfalls are in the Pacific Northwest..
Beautiful, awe inspiring, Multnomah Falls is only 30.5 miles east of the Portland (OR) Airport – PDX. It’s on I 84. You don’t need to leave your car if you don’t want to (they do have rest rooms if you need a pit stop 🙂 For an added treat, just look at the other side of I 84 and you’ll see the gorgeous majestic Columbia River (border between Oregon and Washington) on it’s trip to the Pacific Ocean.
Bald River Falls near Tellico, TN. A rocky stream is beside the road all the way up. there’s a trout hatchery near the top. great trout fishing all the way down. We take picnics.
Hi Cynthia! Wow, that sounds amazing. We’ll include it on our next list!
What about Taughannock Falls on Cayuga Lake in New York? Highest falls in eastern U.S. You can drive right up to the overlook. Your opening photo appears to be it.
Hey Michael! Thank you for the tip. We’ll be sure to include it next time!
