About the Georgia Waterfall Database

Howdy! If you're here to learn about waterfalls, you've come to the right place. I'm Mark Oleg Ozboyd, ​the founder of the Georgia Waterfall Database. 

Exploring waterfalls is my passion. Born and raised in Georgia, I have been crisscrossing our state in search of magnificent waterfalls ever since I was a little kid. Over the course of a decade, I've become known as the Dr. Waterfall of Georgia and I enjoy sharing with you all the information you need to plan your waterfall trips. Once the waterfallin' bug takes hold, you'll never look back. 

The Georgia Waterfall Database is the first-ever complete directory to over 700 waterfalls across all of Georgia, from the lofty north Georgia mountains to metro Atlanta to even the flatlands of central and south Georgia.

This website's mission is to feature all waterfalls I know about in Georgia in a database that will continuously be kept up to date.

Georgia's waterfalls have never received the attention that those of neighboring North Carolina and Tennessee have. ​This website is the realization of a resource that Georgia has sorely needed for years. The site is now home to listings for over 700 waterfalls, following many months of work. Each listing has waterfall coordinates, basic access info, and a photo. If you find a missing waterfall or inaccuracies related to existing waterfall listings, please let us know through the "Submit a Waterfall" form!

​Dear readers: I have invested a tremendous amount of time and effort in constructing the Georgia Waterfalls Database and continuously keeping it revised. All of the work that has gone in keeping this site and my Hiking the Appalachians site updated with my latest trip reports has almost been like a full-time job. This had not allowed me to work a paid job to save up money for college, and therefore, I've had to take out some loans when I started school in 2019 . I am majoring in environmental science and neuroscience, and in the future, I hope to research possible correlations between environmental pollution and neurological diseases. If you find the information on this website interesting, helpful, or time-saving, you can say "thanks" and help me out by clicking the button above and making a contribution. I will be very grateful for any amount of support you give, as all of it will apply toward my college tuition. Thank you!

Acknowledgements

This website wouldn't be the same if not the tireless work of Bernie Boyer and Greg Ford. Not only have these extraordinary waterfall explorers documented dozens of previously-unknown waterfalls across North Georgia, but they have been generous enough to publicly share their photos and notes to inspire people to visit these waterfalls. In addition, my thanks go out to Alan Cressler, Aidan Dealy, Andy Kunkle, Christopher Cockfield, Jack Anthony, Mike Hiler, Morgan Kephart, Nick Brindle, Robert Shaw, Renee Hattenstein, and many others for kindly allowing me to include their photos here.
