Waterfall Hikes in Nebraska (NE)

Nebraska's waterfalls occur where rivers and creeks cut into uplands and bluffs — notably in the Niobrara and Missouri valleys, Pine Ridge, and prairie breaks. Hikes are generally short to moderate, consisting of creekside trails and rocky canyon scrambles, with most routes rated moderate and a few easy paths. Distinctive here is the Great Plains context: modest, often seasonal cascades formed by river incision into Sandhills, prairie and riparian woodlands rather than mountain terrain.
