Mahon Falls is a stunning waterfall located high in County Waterford's Comeragh Mountains.

Mahon Falls is a waterfall that is 80 meters high that is located in the mountains not far from the famous corrie lake Coumshingaun. Streams of water flow from the Comeragh Plateau down across the sandstone cliffs to the boulders below, formed by the River Mahon.
