When I lived in Ohio, there is a place called Nelson's Ledges.  Its pretty cool.  They have hippy fests out there.  They have a really nice beach, ledges to jump off, walking paths in the woods.

The waterfall seen during the opening sequences is the real-life Wailua Falls in Kauai, Hawaii.\n\nThe show was filmed in Burbank, California and Kauai, Hawaii.

Angel Falls - Angel Falls Angel Falls or Salto Angel is the world's highest free-falling waterfall at 978 metres (3,212 feet). It is located on an unnamed tributary of the Rio Caroni in Venezuela. Although first sighted in the early 20th century by the explorer Ernesto de Santa Cruz, they were not known to the world until their official discovery by the American aviator, James Crawford Angel, on a flight whilst searching for gold. Angel was born in Springfield, Missouri in 1899. The official height was determined by a National Geographic Society survey in 1949 (see Jungle Journey to the World's Highest Waterfall by Ruth Robinson). David Mott's book, Angels Four, chronicles the first successful climb up the face of Ayan Tepui (Devil's Mountain) to the top of the.

Eventually, the erosive power of the water will destroy this waterfall, as all falls eventually destroy themselves. However, Angel Falls is eroding less quickly than some larger but less tall falls because "water flow is small and the water is dispersed to a fine mist during its descent." \nThis is probably a very old water fall, which results " from water descending from high plateaus. The world's highest waterfall (with a single, vertical drop of 807 m), Angel Falls, Venezuela"\nhttp://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1SEC829851\n\nI can't imagine that erosion of the falls would happen quickly enough to affect the tourist industry or local villages. More likely, the tourist industry is affecting the local economy--which causes different kinds of changes. I don't think you were asking about these.\n\nI found no mention of recent changes in water volume of the river feeding the falls, but I did not do a super extensive web search.

It's called a river delta. For example, the Mississippi Delta, the Nile Delta, etc. You could also be referring to a river channel mouth bar, which is only a small part of a delta found where the water speed slows from the opening up of the channel into the open ocean, thus causing the water to drop its sediment load.

I used to have a place in the woods in Connecticut growing up.  It was on a ledge of a cliff in really thick evergreens, you couldn't see it from above or below. My friend and I built a platform out of Pallets his father brought home from work.  We were over a pond, probably 70 feet below that was fed by a stream that came from above the cliff and sort of worked its way around, so we diverted it and made it a waterfall.  In the Spring it was pretty heavy and by fall was just a trickle.  I went back there about 15 years after the last time I saw it and it was all still there, but the wooden platform was rotted and ready to fall down.  It made me realize how old I was getting.  The waterfall had worn a little in the rock and looked perfectly natural and still worked the way we left it.  No one had ever found it.\n\nNow I have a doghouse.  It's too nasty for anyone to bother me so it's not really secret, but its safe.

Earlier it was Cherapunji, India but now I think the record of highest rainfall has surpased in a different place. I am sorry, I  can't get the name right now!
