Farin Ruwa Waterfalls

Farin Ruwa waterfall is found in Wamba Local Government Area of Nasarawa State. It is located between the boundary of Bokkos and Wamba local council areas of Plateau and Nasarawa States respectively.

The Farin Ruwa waterfalls is about 120 kilometres away from Lafia, the state capital and 30 kilometres away from Wamba, the local government headquarters. The nature and beauty of the waterfalls take the breath away. It is a truly magnificent work of nature incomparable with other waterfalls in Nigeria. This is because of its high level falls which is about 150 metres high and 50 metres wide.

The force of its gushing water is so torrential that it can be mistaken for while smoke, earning it the name “Farin Ruwa” a literal translation of “White water” in Hausa language.

Nasarawa State government is currently working on a block of chalets to ensure tourists and other visitors adequate accommodation near the waterfalls. A golf course is also in the works for the area.
