Here's four waterfalls. I don't think we did any waterfalls from the eastern states. I could not find any in Delaware the first state to become a state, so I pick four from the state of Pennsylvania to start with and Pennsylvania is definitely one of the states to go to for waterfalls.

🇺🇸💦Buttermilk Falls is a 35' plunge on Clark Run in Homewood, Pennsylvania. This falls is also known as Homewood Falls, as there are at least four other Buttermilk Falls in the state, but there is a big sign on the road saying "Buttermilk Falls Natural Area", so Buttermilk Falls is the official name. There is a railroad above the falls, and the gorge below the falls was used as a quarry. You can see evidence of the holes they drilled to remove blocks of stone. The water also has a certain odd color. This is a classic plunge waterfall, and you can easily walk behind it without getting wet. The falls is located along Route 18, just south of I-76. If you take exit 13 on I-76, and head south on Route 18, you will see the sign for the natural area on your right just after you cross under I-76. It is hard to miss. From the parking area, it is a short walk to the falls. There is a stairway on the trail. The road continues past the parking area up a hill. At the top of the hill there is a church. If you park here, you will find trails that lead you to an overview at the top of the falls.

💦Cucumber Falls is a 30 foot in Pennsylvania's Ohiopyle State Park. This is a large park. The town of Ohiopyle is inside the park and route 381 runs through the middle of it. Cucumber Falls can be reached from Kentuck road. Kentuck road intersects 381 just south of the Ohiopyle Falls. This waterfall is the result of Cucumber Run falling into the gorge carved out by the Youghiogheny River (known as the "Yawk"). There is a well marked parking area just above the falls. There is a stairway down into the gorge that takes you to the base of the falls. There is also an overlook by the top of the falls. Maps are available for free in the park which show you the location of the falls and trails. Later in the summer the falls are not so impressive.

💦Tuscarora Falls is located in Pennsylvania's Ricketts Glen State Park. It is a 47' two tiered falls. In lower water the lower tier is segmented into two drops. The falls are named for the Tuscarora, an Iroquoian speaking people who became the sixth member of the Iroquois Confederation.

💦F.L. Ricketts Falls is the second falls from the top of Glen Leigh in Pennsylvania, The falls is a slide with a drop of 38' feet. The waterfall is named after Frank L. Ricketts, the younger brother of R.B. Ricketts. The falls is not so steep that folks cannot easily climb it.
