The Picturesque Mina Sauk Falls Trail Will Take You To The Most Spectacular Fall Foliage In Missouri

Listen to the sound of the fallen leaves crunching beneath your feet as you wind your way along a spectacular trail that provides sweeping views of some of the best fall foliage in Missouri. Need extra incentive? The picturesque trail also boasts a magnificent waterfall. Can you think of a better way to spend a few hours on a beautiful autumn morning or afternoon?

Lace up those hiking boots and make sure your smartphone is charged - you'll definitely want to take a ton of pictures - for your trek along Mina Sauk Falls Trail.

Tucked in Taum Sauk Mountain State Park, in Middle Brook, Mina Sauk Falls Trail spans nearly three picture-perfect miles.

However, before you set off, make sure you're prepared for the challenging terrain, which can be rocky and difficult in spots. (The trail is considered moderately difficult, although some hikers rate it as difficult.)

One of the highlights of the trail is, undoubtedly, Mina Sauk Falls, the tallest waterfall in Missouri. The multi-tiered waterfall features several 30 foot drops, and...

It tumbles a total of 132 feet. The gushing waterfall provides the perfect backdrop for photographs and maybe even a few selfies.

If you're hiking the trail in the fall, you're in for a spectacular show of fall colors. The hike boasts stunning views, for example, of the St. Francois Mountains.

Partial fall foliage is expected during the week of November 2, 2019. However, if you want to hike Mina Sauk Falls Trail during peak foliage, plan your adventure the week of November 16, 2019.

Please keep in mind that fall foliage peak dates are predictions by SmokyMountains.com only. Weather and other factors could result in a change of peak fall foliage days.
