Most People Will Never See This Wondrous Waterfall Hiding In Nebraska

Waterfalls are a pretty unexpected natural feature in Nebraska; most people would never guess that you could find these impressive formations here in “flat” Nebraska. But we do have some exceptional waterfalls, including Snake Falls: a beautiful but out-of-the-way fall.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

Snake River Falls is located southwest of Valentine on, of course, the Snake River.

It's the largest waterfall by volume in the state, and it's a truly spectacular sight.

The waterfall is on private property, but don't let that deter you from visiting. Just pay $1 per visitor and then set out to find this natural wonder.

The hike to get to the falls is what deters most visitors from seeing it up close.

It's a somewhat treacherous trail, with rocky and uneven terrain. The walk isn't long, but you do need to be in fairly good condition to tackle it.

If you do put in the effort to find the falls, pay the admission, and hike to it, you'll be richly rewarded. This sight is unparalleled in all of Nebraska, and the sound of the rushing water is absolutely stunning.

If you aren’t able to make the hike to the falls, this drone footage will get you pretty close to the action.

The waterfall is located behind the Snake Falls Sportsmen’s Club on Hwy 97. If you’d like to fish at the falls or get more information on visiting, check out the Sportsmen’s Club website right here.
