Though we enjoy the state park here at the lake, we also love this waterfall pouring over multiple rock ledges. It's almost as soothing as wind rushing through our Kansas fields.
Another great falls attached to a Kansas lake, this waterfall is one of the taller options in Kansas. It's a rough little road, but less than a quarter mile of walking to get there and back. If you can manage that, it's a stunning spot to sit at for a while.
This crossing area is stunning, and a beautiful example of how a few rocky areas makes a gorgeous waterfall in Kansas. It also doubles as a historic location!
This tiny falls comes after a miniature hike, but is less of a roar and more of a soothing trickle. It dries up when it hasn't rained in a bit though, so keep that in mind for your plans to visit! If you also love history, you'll love the history held at this once very useful spring.
This multi-area waterfall has a couple smaller ridges, but is still a great place for a short hike and a relaxing time near the water. If you don't mind a little big of walking, the waterfall's right here for the taking.
Another stunning waterfall spot is at Cowley State Lake where you might have to watch out for litter from fellow visitors, but it's well worth for the view.
This little hike out at Chase Lake is perfect for stretching your legs as you get to the beautiful spot where the rushing water relaxes you. Plus, who wouldn't want to dip their water shoes into the water for a while?
