Winter charm: 17 frozen waterfalls in the USA worth seeing

Waterfalls, these epic wonders of nature, truly fuel and fuel an insatiable wanderlust. And while most travelers will save a trip to the falls for the spring and summer seasons, there is something truly wonderful about visiting the falls during the height of winter. OnlyInYouState.

In these frosty, coldest months, some of our country's most glorious, roaring, rushing waterfalls freeze over.

There is nothing like an icy waterfall, and this frozen fleeting phenomenon can only be experienced in winter conditions.
These 17 frozen waterfalls across America are magical.

Snoqualmie Falls - Washington

Snoqualmie Falls is one of Washington State's most popular scenic attractions.

More than 1,5 million visitors come to the falls each year, and while this Washington Falls is amazing after a heavy spring rain—or when it's surrounded by fall foliage—Snoqualmie Falls is absolutely stunning in the winter.

When cold weather hits the Pacific Northwest, this incredible waterfall hangs in the air, frozen in time.

This isn't something that happens in the Pacific Northwest every day—or even every winter. So when the temperatures plummet, pack your gear and head to this wondrous Washington waterfall.

Multnomah Falls - Oregon

Mighty Multnomah Falls is one of the hidden gems of the Pacific Northwest.

This fall from a height of 190 meters will take your breath away and awaken the beauty of nature.

Stunningly beautiful all year round: hiking, footbridge and lunch at Multnomah Falls Lodge.

Winter is the most magical time of year to visit Multnomah Falls, especially during the (admittedly rare) off-season.

Frozen Multnomah Falls is truly a fantastic sight.

If you have the opportunity to visit this frozen wonder, do not miss the opportunity - it is truly a unique experience!

Roughlock Falls - South Dakota

The badlands of South Dakota are famous for many things; frozen waterfalls are not among them.

But that's only because most of them have never visited Spearfish Canyon in winter, when its 300-meter walls are covered in ice and snow, making it the best seasonal travel destination in the country.

The scenic 30km Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway runs along majestic limestone palisades flanked by several waterfalls that literally turn into glittering granite sheets in the height of winter.

This is the best winter wonderland walk between dazzling icicles and snow-covered trees, like no other.

For the most thrilling experience of this stunning spectacle, consider snowshoeing to Roughlock Falls - we guarantee you'll be so excited you won't even notice the cold!

Bridal Veil Falls - Utah

Bridal Veil Falls is one of the most popular waterfalls in Utah, as well as the southwest.

While most enjoy this Utah destination during the warmer months, seeing a waterfall frozen in place is truly a bucket list activity.

There is something completely enchanting about this frozen waterfall: the way the sunlight sparkles and reflects the ice, the awe-inspiring silence and the sheer magnitude of it all.

Bridal Veil Falls is 200 meters of pure energy and is truly one of nature's greatest artistic achievements.

The Fang - Colorado

It is difficult to stand out among the winter beauties.

But “standing out” is exactly what The Fang does.

Those who think the falls are best visited during the warmer months have clearly not seen Colorado's fantastic frozen falls.

One of the most famous winter spots is the 50-meter-high The Fang in Vail.

This waterfall is actually more popular in winter than in summer, as adventure seekers enjoy the challenge of climbing this immense ice wall.

Of all the incredible waterfalls in Colorado, The Fang is the best.

Glory Hole Falls - Arkansas

The Ozark National Forest in Arkansas is more than just a sea of ​​greenery.

Some of the best waterfalls in the Midwest are hidden in this epic space, such as Glory Hole Falls.
This completely unique waterfall is unlike anything you've seen before; water flows through the rock, not over it, creating a truly impressive circular waterfall.

And the miracles don't end there; in winter this waterfall turns into a perfectly suspended column that will take your breath away.

Minnehaha Falls- Minnesota

Minnesota is teeming with magnificent waterfalls; from the incredibly popular Gooseberry Falls in Two Harbors to the lesser-known Winnewissa Falls in Pipestone, the Land of 10 Lakes is a land of waterfalls.

But no one beats Minnehaha Falls, the 15-meter waterfall that is the ideal waterfalls.
This Minnehaha Falls, like all other falls in the state, is beautiful in spring and summer, but in winter it carries an otherworldly beauty that leaves you speechless.

It's absolutely worth seeing this spectacle so wonderful that you might want to stay forever in this real-life Frozen fairy tale.

Apostle Islands- Wisconsin

In the icy waters of Lake Superior, the wild islands known as "The Apostles." Are scattered like jewels.

The Apostle Islands in Wisconsin are a dreamlike fantasy filled with sea caves, emerald green pools, deserted beaches and lighthouses that still signal waters littered with the wrecks of old schooners. For visitors to reach this sheer, distant beauty, little effort is required; but when you arrive at the islands, your hard work will be richly rewarded.

In summer, these serene beaches will feel like a secluded island; in winter, you will feel as if you have landed on the frozen planet Hoth.

Raised water, massive icicles, cold blue water and sparkling cave walls make the Apostle Islands a place of otherworldly beauty in winter.

LaSalle Canyon - Starved Rock State Park, Illinois

One of the most scenic spots in the Midwest, it gets even more beautiful in winter. Cliffs and canyons have long attracted the attention of Starved Rock State Park.

Outdoor enthusiasts can hike the 20 km of trails that are open all year round, allowing you to experience the landscape changes throughout the year.

But if you're ready to wrap up and weather the cold, winter hiking in Starved Rock can lead to otherworldly discoveries like waterfalls frozen in ice.

And we are not talking about small waterfalls.

Here you will find many incredible cascades ranging from 5 to 25 meters in height in different canyons around the park.

Follow the trail to admire the view of the falls while looking at what used to be a curtain of flowing water.

Tahquamenon Falls- Michigan

Tahquamenon Falls in Michigan has long attracted waterfall enthusiasts and adventure seekers.

One of the most visually stunning waterfalls in the country, the trademark brown color flowing through these falls is associated with the tannins absorbed by the cedar bogs.

While this chemical reaction may not add beauty to the waterfalls in the summer, during the winter months the tannins give the frozen waterfall a delightful—and unexpected—color.

Michigan has a lot of frozen waterfalls, but Tahquamenon Falls is the most accessible and fun!

Brandywine Falls - Ohio

Located in Ohio's only national park, Brandywine Falls is truly a vision.

This spectacular 20-meter waterfall comes from Brandywine Creek and is arguably the park's most popular feature.

But what some don't realize is that Brandywine Falls turns into something even more unusual in the middle of winter in Ohio.

Seeing these frozen waterfalls in person is the most amazing reward of walking the trails during the coldest months of the year.

You will be so enchanted by these breathtaking landscapes that you will forget about the cold.

Cumberland Falls- Kentucky

The most popular waterfall in Kentucky is often overlooked after it gets cold, which is a shame because there is nothing more beautiful in Bluegrass than the frozen Cumberland Falls.

Seeing these frozen waterfalls is absolutely, absolutely wonderful.

Come and marvel at Cumberland Falls during the coldest months of the year and get ready to be in complete delight.

Great Falls Park- Virginia and Maryland

On the border of Maryland and Virginia, there is a place that completely transforms in the colder months.

Great Falls Park, a scenic and rocky stretch of the Potomac that twists and turns 800 acres; when the temperature drops below freezing, its small cascades and precipitous rapids become motionless, like statues surrounded by glittering gray granite and snow-covered greenery.

This magical action takes place a few minutes from the capital of our country.

Great Falls Park is a popular destination for hiking, climbing, snowshoeing and other epic outdoor adventures; and if you come here in winter, you will definitely fall in love with this beautiful park.

Winding Stair Gap- North Carolina

Most people would be content to admire from afar the winter transformation of Winding Stair Gap - from a cascading waterfall to a solid layer of thick, ominous ice.

But for thrill-seekers hungry for adrenaline, this icy autumn will be a real challenge.

The imposing waterfalls at Franklin's Winding Stair Gap turn into something wild and wondrous every winter, and if you are lucky enough to walk here while someone climbs the ice sheet, another mesmerizing sight awaits you in cold weather.

Niagara Falls - New York

Niagara Falls attracts about 30 million visitors annually, but in winter the crowds disperse.

The waterfall flowing from Lake Erie into Lake Ontario—technically consisting of three cascades—is one of the most powerful on the continent, with six million cubic feet of water flowing every minute.

These waterfalls rarely truly freeze, but when temperatures plummet, there is still a spectacular show waiting for you.

Most of the water still flows beneath the frozen surface, but Niagara Falls does give the impression of being completely covered in frost, which, given its sheer size, makes for a magical winter sight that is sure to delight you indescribably.

Ausable Chasm Falls - New York

Ausable Chasm Falls, the “Little Grand Canyon of the East,” is one of New York City's most amazing waterfalls.

It is also one of America's oldest natural attractions, attracting visitors since 1870.

There are some great paid tours you can do, including hiking or rafting; but in reality, there is nothing better than seeing these falls in the middle of winter.

The view from the bridge is one of the best and won't cost you a penny.

Be sure to bring your hiking boots and your camera to witness one of the finest frozen fantasies in the country!

Thunderbird Falls - Alaska

We'd be remiss not to include at least one Alaskan waterfall on this list, as Last Frontier is the very definition of a winter wonderland.

At Anchorage, Thunderbird Falls is an eye-catcher and it truly is one of the most wonderful falls in the country.

Thunderbird Falls looks especially stunning in the middle of winter, its waters are bright blue against the backdrop of stunning white landscape, as well as a waterfall rushing under a thick ice wall.

Trekking to Thunderbird Falls is also incredibly scenic (and accessible), making it a must-see on your Alaska wishlist.
