Which County Hits 100 First?

The submissions just keep coming in.  Thanks to you all!  With all the wonderful people submitting waterfalls, Laurel County has now rocketed back ahead of McCreary County for the most confirmed waterfalls in the state!  The database is now up to 602 waterfalls, with 590 waterfalls on the map.  The coolest part of the recent submissions to me has been all the people checking out possible waterfalls and changing them to confirmed!

Now the question is will Laurel or McCreary hit 100 confirmed waterfalls first? 

You can check out the Top 10 Counties List here.

McCreary County on the Top

Thanks to a massive amount of submissions from Mike Hoffman, McCreary County now has the most confirmed waterfalls, beating out Laurel County by a handful.

The database is now just a few shy of 600 waterfalls.  The map has not been updated yet to reflect all the recently submitted waterfalls, but they are in the database (use the search feature).  I'll get the map updated on the next update, once over 600 waterfalls.

Thanks to Mike as well as Stephanie & Tim Stoops for the large amount of submittals.  Also thanks to all the others that have submitted waterfalls in the last few weeks.  45 waterfalls were submitted in just the last 2 weeks by 9 different people!!!  That is crazy and awesome.

Large Update

Over the last few months, there have been plenty of waterfalls added to the database thanks to a solid roster of explorers that have been submitting their finds to the database.  Huge shoutout to all of them!  Today all those, as well as some others, are now added to the waterfall map, hooray!

The database is now up to 550 waterfalls, of which 539 are on the waterfall map.

Speaking of the waterfall map, now if you zoom in far enough, the lidar will appear.  This means you can plan your journey around cliffs and see the terrain in more detail than ever before.  Maybe even find a waterfall that is yet to have been added to the database!  This feature most likely will be tweaked, updated and added to as I receive feedback.  So feel free to reach out to me if you would like to see it displayed differently, more options, or added to in some way.

The Top 10 County list has been updated several times since it made its debut.  Laurel County is still rocking the top spot.

There is also an update to the Top 10 Tallest waterfalls in the state.  I had the pleasure of visiting and measuring a new champion, Crabtree Falls.  Pictured below, it is a real beauty of falls and stands at 145' tall.

If you haven't checked out the new search feature, I would recommend doing so.

Lastly, if you do not like to find your own route to a waterfall, and would rather follow a guide, please check out Explore Daniel Boone National Forest created by my friend Adam Thompson.  I have submitted a couple trip reports for his site and have more in store.  It is going to be the best resource for hiking and exploring in the Daniel Boone National Forest.  I highly recommend bookmarking it and using it as a valuable resource.
