Crabtree Falls, located in the George Washington National Forest within the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, is defined by its dramatic descent over five major cascades and several smaller drops, totaling a vertical fall of over 1,200 feet, making it the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi River. The falls flow over a massive foundation of Pedlar Formation granulite.
Registered by: Vortex Hunter #134 – 10.26.15 – This is a very popular area: Crabtree Falls the title of tallest vertical drop in a waterfall east of the Mississippi River. Twenty-nine people have fallen to their deaths from leaving the trail to climb too close to the waterfalls – so stay on the marked path. It was a cloudy day. Around 60 degrees at 3:40 in the afternoon. There were a lot of visitors when we entered, however no one was around when the video was taken. The pendulum spun in a counter clockwise motion. The spot is around .6 miles up the trail (total trail up the fall is 1.7 miles). There are flat/rounded rocks at this point that are surrounded by the falls. I was straddling two of these rocks. You can hear me advising my daughter to stay back on the viedo. When standing on solid ground just off the rocks, the pendulum did not move at all.

Note: There is currently no scientific method to prove that vortexes exist. Just because a location is on the vortex map, does not prove there is a vortex there. What it means, is that someone suggested the location and provided evidence or a personal account, and/or we found corroborating evidence from other sources. We do this so other visitors to the site can send us their opinion on the validity of the vortex claim, to build a consensus.
