What is a dam waterfall?
The dam category holds falls over an artificial structure: a dam, weir, spillway or mill race, and natural falls whose crest now carries a dam or a power intake, such as Snoqualmie Falls in Washington. They are kept in the catalogue because the survey names them, people visit them and they are often the most accessible falls near a town. New York leads with 34, a legacy of mills along its rivers, followed by Kansas. The height given is the drop of the water as it stands today, not the natural fall that may have existed before the dam. Some of these sites are private or fenced; the reviews on each page say which ones can be seen from a road or a park.
