March 2023 Update

Huge thanks to Bill Fultz and him keeping this database going for the last year.  I have personally done almost nothing to the database since this time last year.  Bill stepped up and keep this place, as well as the other databases, moving and growing.  He kept in touch with the submitters, he added to the database, and he grew it.  In that time he added over 100 waterfalls, and had one of the largest influx of submitters in the database's history.  A huge props to him. This past year has been the worst of my life, with tremendous heartache and pain.  With a renewed focus and the help of Bill, we bring you this update, the first with over 1000 waterfalls to be seen by you, that are available of the map.  Kentucky continues to amaze us all, slowing showcasing her majestic wonders that she has hidden for decades or centuries.  I hope this database brings you adventure, joy and a passion to protect Kentucky.

The waterfall database is now up to 1140 waterfalls, with 1002 on the map and 4 leads.  We are now over 1100 waterfalls in the database.  Thanks to all those that are submitting.  Pretty awesome work.

McCreary is hanging on by one waterfall over Laurel.  South Central Kentucky is dominating the waterfall count.

We have yet another 2 new waterfalls to the widest falls top 10.  We also have an addition to the top 10 tallest waterfalls in the database.  This is the first in over a year!

McCreary is back on top by 5 waterfalls.

The biggest news is we have 2 new waterfalls to the widest falls top 10.  These are the first additions in 4 years, going back to 2018.  That is pretty awesome to find some wide falls still out there!

1000 Waterfalls!!!

Here at Kentucky Waterfalls, we have officially hit 1000 waterfalls in the database with 900 on the map.  That is quite a feat when I started this adventure years ago.  Ronald David Parrott has hit 100 submissions, being the second Kentuckian to reach that feat, after Mike Hoffman (creator of this database omitted).  Jim Ledford also made it into the Top 10 of submitters!  Thanks to all the submitters for continuing to make this the place for waterfall information in Kentucky.

Laurel County tied McCreary County for the most waterfalls.  Can it pass McCreary and leave it behind once and for all?  Or will McCreary pull back away?
