Really East Tennessee2468 viewsThis waterfall measures only 12 ft high. This web site qualifies any cascade above 8 ft as a waterfall.

With this in mind, this may be the most Eastern waterfall in Tennessee.

WV Pride2463 viewsCathedral Falls may be West virginia's tallest falls. Hill Creek Falls also claims that distinction but, depends on where one aims the laser, I suppose.

It surely is the most visited, being right beside US 60.

Better Than Expected2461 viewsI expected to see a 60 ft falls but, measure this beauty at more than 100 ft.

Lasers don't really like the brush seen at the top of the falls here but, I got consistent marks at over 100 ft and a solid mark at 91 ft.
