Recovery efforts went on throughout the night until the child was recovered around 1 AM Monday morning, authorities said.
According to NBC, Whitewater Falls is the highest waterfall east of the Rockies with a plunge of 411 feet. It is not known how far Nevaeh fell.
"First and foremost our prayers are with the Newswanger Family as they grieve the loss of this precious young child," Jackson County Sheriff Chip Hall said in the statement. "With the onset of spring weather we need to be reminded of the dangers associated with many scenic areas of the region such as waterfalls."
The sheriff also urged visitors to be vigilant in keeping a safe distance, following safety precautions and remaining in designated viewing areas when visiting scenic nature areas.
On the GoFundMe page, her parents spoke about how Nevaeh is now their "precious angel".
