No hiking necessary when you want to chase Crooked Creek Falls! It’s not the only hike-free waterfall in the state but it is one of our favorites.

It is a little crooked like the waterfall but no off-roading vehicles are needed. From where you parked at Little Missouri Falls you'll travel along Mine Creek Road and about a mile down Caney Creek Wildlife Management Area. You can view a map right here.
Crooked Creek winds along Caney Creek Wildlife Management Area and leads up to a gorgeous sight.

Similar to the Little Missouri River, this is one serpentine stream you'll want to explore!
Crooked Creek Falls is an aptly named waterfall that spills over the rocks in numerous spots.

The waterfall is about 16-ft. tall but seems to be 2-4 smaller waterfalls stacked together. You'll be able see and hear this one as soon as you park!
During the summer this waterfall road trip can turn into a swimming escapade, too!

The falls are gorgeous any time of the year but are especially rewarding during the warmer months. Crooked Creek empties into a pool that's perfect for wading. Pack a picnic and a floatie and you're set!
The Natural State is filled with beautiful sights but we especially love the ones that don't require long hikes!
