World Waterfall Database

If You Love Hiking Waterfall Trails – Then You Need to Bookmark This Website

One of our favorite hiking activities is to hike to see waterfalls. ​ ​Luckily there is an online database that lists the known waterfalls by Country, State, name and map location - the "World Waterfall Database".

                                            https://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/

"The World Waterfall Database was established to provide a complete, accurate record of the waterfalls throughout the world, largely because such a record had not ever been established."
