Outdoors NearbyFalls Ridge Waterfall
Falls Ridge Waterfall is a waterfall in Virginia, about 5 miles from Basye. OpenStreetMap lists it as about 26 feet (8 m) high.
Hidden off the Falls Ridge trail on an unofficial side trail, this beautiful waterfall is also unusual as it crashes into rocks next to a 60ft cliff instead of into a pool. In the summer standing under the falls is a great way to cool down on this hike.Description from OpenStreetMap
