Kpatawee Waterfall: A Hidden Gem in Bong County

Tucked into the green interior of Bong County, Kpatawee Waterfall is one of Liberia's most loved natural escapes. Cascading water, a refreshing pool and a canopy of forest make it a favorite day trip for both locals and visitors.

What makes Kpatawee worth the trip

The waterfall spills over rocks into a clear natural pool that is ideal for swimming. Surrounded by lush greenery and birdsong, it is a peaceful spot to cool off, relax and reconnect with nature — a striking contrast to the coastal beaches Liberia is also known for.

Things to do at Kpatawee

• Swim in the natural pool beneath the falls.
• Picnic in the shade — bring food and water, as facilities are limited.
• Hike the short forest trails around the falls.
• Photography — the falls and surrounding forest are beautifully scenic.
