Quincy hangs on the Mississippi bluffs, and bluff country hides small seasonal drops in its ravines. Homan Falls is the one we list, without trail miles or a height on record, so it stays a scouting trip. Go after a hard spring rain, when the creeks threading down to the river carry enough water to matter. The rest of the year this corner of west Illinois keeps its water underground and in the big river.
