Visit Rocky Falls In Missouri, A Hidden Gem Destination That Has Its Very Own Waterfall

Rocky Falls in Missouri may not exactly be hidden, but it certainly is one of the state's many gems. While it draws visitors all year around, this Missouri natural wonder is particularly popular during the summertime. Bring your beach gear (and some food!) because you're in for a one-of-a-kind adventure at this beautiful waterfall.

Just 20 minutes from Eminence, Rocky Falls has been a beloved gem for generations. After all, the waterfall, comprised of rocks dating back 1.5 billion years, offers plenty to do.

However, its most popular activity is undoubtedly swimming in the pool into which the waterfall tumbles on those hot, hot Missouri days.

You'll definitely want to wear a pair of water shoes, too, to make climbing the rocks easier. Climb to a quiet spot and relax in the cool water.

It probably goes without saying that the Missouri waterfall can get extremely busy, especially on the hottest days of the summer. Just be prepared to deal with crowds.

Bring your beach towel or chair and umbrella, and grab a spot poolside.

You might also want to slip on a pair of shoes, and explore the walking trail after you've cooled off.

Just a short stroll from the waterfall, you'll find picnic tables, grills, and bathrooms. That makes it easy to make a day of it at Rocky Falls.

Even if you're not up for a swim or visit during the off-season, you'll be treated to jaw-dropping views in all seasons. Make sure you drop by during the peak of fall foliage and when the snow frames the waterfall.
