Situated along Mill Creek in the Lieber State Recreation Area, Cataract Falls is the largest waterfall in the state. It actually consists of two separate falls: The Upper Falls are approximately 45 feet high with a sheer plunge of 20 feet, while the Lower Falls are slightly smaller. A short walking trail connects the two cascades, and if you'd like to go for a longer hike, you can walk to Cagle Mill Lake from the lower falls. There are picnic pavilions and pit toilets at both the upper and lower falls, and the park is open to visitors every day between dawn and dusk.
