Waterfalls

Cunningham Falls in Thurmont MD - is an easy couple hour drive. When we went there had been a draught so it wasn't very impressive but you can climb the falls so that was neat

Also something nice that we enjoyed was Great Falls just north of DC (we went to the MD side but there is also a park on the VA side) - not waterfalls but awesome scenic rapids and the C&O canal stuff is neat too.





Most impressive water sites I've seen have been in New York about 6 hours away at Watkins Glen



and Letchworth State Parks

Swallow Falls Deep Creek, not very close though

If you are going this far might as well also check out Blackwater Falls State Park in WV

Don't go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. I know that ypu're gonna have it your way or nothing at all, but I think you're moving too fast .

Cascade Falls (from the same site) looks nice: http://waterfalls.nature.st/Maryland/cascade.jpg and it's only about an hour and a half away.

We actually visited here last month - Patapsco Valley State Park. when you go on the trail take a left when it forks and you'll come to the waterfall with very limited hiking required.

Crabtree Falls in Va, about 3 and a half hours, it's between Charlottesville and Lynchburg. They are the largest falls east of the Mississippi. It's an easy hike to the top.
