The following is the list of the widest waterfalls measured to date in the state of Kentucky.
In measuring and including waterfalls in this list, several rules or standards were put in place for a waterfall to be included.
• The waterfalls had to be measured using a laser rangefinder (aka a Disto or similar device).
• So no historical measurements were used in the creation, only actual, accurate measurements.
• The waterfalls were measured from the edge of the water to the edge of the water at the time of observation.
• The waterfalls have to be over 5 feet in height to be included.
