Virginia is home to countless beautiful waterfalls. Some are easy to access, while others require a bit of hiking. While both have their advantages, sometimes it can be fun to discover the cascades that seem to be hiding in plain sight. One of our favorites is located at the Maymont Japanese Garden in Richmond, VA. It’s a man-made waterfall set behind a beautiful bridge, offering a fairytale-like setting to those who visit. Here’s more on the easy-to-access waterfall in Virginia that’s hiding in plain sight.
