to explore
Missouri's waterfalls are concentrated in the Ozark Plateau and St. Francois Mountains, where sandstone and dolomite ledges, spring-fed creeks, steep stream-cut hollows and river bluffs produce cascades and small plunges amid forested ridges and narrow gorges. Hikes are generally moderate on maintained park and conservation-area trails with uneven, rocky footing and occasional short scrambles, and the state is distinctive for its limited but seasonally variable, karst-influenced falls tucked into accessible lowland and upland settings.
