Written by: Christopher Morris

Welcome to the new home of the Kentucky Waterfall Database.  I am pretty excited about this and have put in a lot of effort to create this new and vastly updated website for the 10 year anniversary of the Kentucky Waterfall Database's existence.  There are quite a bit of new things included, a new look, and of course some brand new maps that are massive updates to the old map feature.  The entire website has also been tested on mobile devices, as that is the way that the majority of you visit the database.

If you have a Feature Request, found a Bug, or have a comment, please click the Beta Feedback button on the right side of the page (below articles on mobile). Beta Feedback
