Waterfall Hikes in Kansas (KS)

Eastern Kansas’ river valleys and pocketed uplands—including the Flint Hills, Osage Cuestas and the southeastern sandstone lowlands—feed the state’s small waterfalls, which are typically set in wooded ravines, bluffs and river-cut gorges. Hikes to them are generally moderate, featuring creekside trails, short ridge walks and occasional steep scrambles, and are notable for waterfalls formed by limestone and sandstone ledges tucked into prairie and river landscapes rather than high mountain terrain.
