Niagara is, but Taughannock is about 30 feet taller than Niagra (though much smaller volume).

I just looked it up and I was actually wrong! Yes, taughannock is taller than Niagara, but there is a waterfall in Tennessee a little taller than taughannock that has the claim of tallest single plunge.

Haha, my bad. To be fair, I also feel lied to as I’ve thought for years that taughannock was the tallest single plunge. Truth hurts I guess

Fall creek falls? This reminded me of it and it’s also stunning.

Niagara isn't impressive for it's height, more so its volume (although even then there are other waterfalls in the world that have more).
