Contact

The fastest way to reach us is email: hello@fallsnearme.com. We read everything and usually reply within two business days. Here is what helps us act on each kind of message.

A missing or misplaced waterfall

Send the waterfall's name, the state and county, and where it really is: coordinates, a link to a map, or the nearest trailhead. If you can, include a source such as a park or forest service page. We check reports against the USGS and OpenStreetMap records. Unnamed falls are not included on the map, so tell us the name it goes by locally and where that name is used.

What happens after you report one

We look the fall up in the source records and on recent aerial imagery. A name or position we can confirm goes into the next data rebuild, and the fix then shows on the map, the state page and any city page within range. If the change belongs in OpenStreetMap itself, we will say so, since a fix made there reaches every map that uses its data, not only ours. We reply either way, including when we cannot confirm a report.

A wrong height

Heights come from OpenStreetMap, so the best fix is a source we can check: a sign, a land manager's page or a guidebook figure. Remember that published heights differ because some count every tier and some only the biggest drop; our height guide explains why.

Closed trails and access

We cannot track trail closures, fees or permits, which change often. For those, contact the land manager directly, usually the state park, national forest or national park named in the waterfall's area.

Bugs and embedding

For a bug in the map, tell us the browser and device you used and what you expected to happen. To put the waterfall finder on your own site, see the embed page; it is free.
