Farm country fills Morrisons Cove around Martinsburg, and the waterfalls wait in the wooded ridges at its edges. White Tail Falls takes two miles out and back and climbs about 300 feet, with Winding Staircase Falls matching that effort nearby. The easy option is Adams Falls, a tenth of a mile with dogs allowed. Niagara Falls, the local one, runs half a mile. Only four falls sit within the radius, enough for a couple of good Saturday outings.
