Here are the most critical updates to waterfalls that were included within the 1st edition of of book, New England Waterfalls: A Guide to 200 Cascades & Waterfalls. The 1st edition of our book was published in 2003 and was based on visits we made to these waterfalls throughout 2001 and 2002. Since this so many years ago, some things have changed at many of the waterfalls in that book.
In addition to reviewing this list, please also review the updates to the 2nd edition of our book. Here is the link.
