Margoon Waterfall is located in Sepidan County, Fars Province, near the village of Margoon. At 70 metres high and 100 metres wide, it is known as the largest spring-fed waterfall in Iran and one of the tallest spring-fed waterfalls in the world. Its water comes from thousands of small and large springs that gush out of the mountain, which is why it is also called the "Thousand Springs Waterfall".

Margoon Waterfall lies in a mountainous, cold-climate area, and thanks to its geographical position the weather here stays cool and pleasant in every season of the year. This makes the area a good destination for travellers during the hot months of the year. Around the waterfall lies pristine, untouched nature with varied vegetation and beautiful scenery, offering visitors an unforgettable experience.

The waterfall can be reached by paved roads that are accessible by car. From the car park to the foot of the waterfall there is a stone-paved path with concrete steps, which is easy to walk. The best time to visit Margoon Waterfall is spring and summer, as the temperatures are more comfortable and the surrounding nature looks especially beautiful in these seasons. Near the entrance there are facilities such as a supermarket, restrooms and a restaurant for visitors' comfort. In winter, the access route to Margoon Waterfall gets very heavy snowfall; therefore, make sure the roads are open before you set out, and don't forget to bring the appropriate equipment.
