Waterfalls in United States

Nugget Falls, Alaska

Also called as Mendenhall Glacier Falls, these falls drain the snow melts of Nugget Glacier. Trembling over the hillside slopes of Bullard Mountain, Nugget Falls overflow into the shoal of Mendenhall Lake. These cascades highlight one of the most spectacular areas of Auke Bay, sided by salmon filled-creeks, roaming elks, moose and grizzlies, and all the quintessential beauty of Alaskan landscape.

Noted as an anglers paradise, the region also marks an important fishing harbor in North America- crabs, salmon, Pacific and Arctic cod are the seafood speciality around the cascading Nugget Falls.
