16. Niagara Falls, New York
While it’s not the highest waterfall, or even exactly in the US, Niagara Falls is arguably the most famous in the world. Situated in New York State near Buffalo, three thunderous, wide cascades of water splash across the border into the country of Canada.

Elakala Falls is situated within a park that’s named after another waterfall, Blackwater Falls State Park.
