The Hike In Missouri That Takes You To Not One, But TWO Insanely Beautiful Waterfalls

What's better than a hike with a waterfall? How about a trail that features two beautiful waterfalls? That's just what you'll get when you set off on this picturesque hike in Missouri that's brimming with natural beauty. Even better, it's one of those hikes that is ideal for hikers of all ages, including the kiddos, and skill levels.

Spanning just under two miles, Roark Creek Waterfall promises plenty of natural beauty, including two cascading waterfalls.

While the trail is considered easy, you'll definitely want to wear appropriate shoes as the terrain can get rocky and a bit challenging at times.

Still, it remains a popular hike both with kids and with hikers with pups. Your best bet is to wear water shoes or to opt for a pair of shoes that you don't mind getting wet and muddy.

The trail requires crossing the creek several times. If you're visiting after particularly heavy rainfall, you'll likely find the trail has been closed until the water can recede.

Be prepared for significant foot traffic, too, if you're visiting on a particularly nice day.

Pack a picnic lunch, and bring your swimming gear along if you're hiking on a warm day. The pool into which the larger of the waterfalls gathers is popular for those who want to wade (including dogs).

Before you head out, remember the adage "leave no trace," and take back with you whatever you brought to help preserve the trail.
