Tallest single plunge east of the Mississippi River, Taughannock Falls, Ithaca NY [OC] [3232x4040]facundomuerto t1_j98zdcp wrote
I can’t quite figure out the definition of a sheer-drop waterfall vs a plunge. But this is obviously an important distinction. Here’s a taller waterfall east of the Mississippi but another variety or something.
Fall Creek Falls is a 256-foot (78 m)[1] tall sheer-drop waterfall located in Fall Creek Falls State Park near Spencer, Tennessee. It is the tallest waterfall of such kind east of the Mississippi River (within the United States).

The user in this comment had some interesting points about the Tennessee waterfall.
Generally it seems that there is a significant amount of nuance (and incorrect info) regarding waterfalls on the eastern half of the United States, haha.
