Grand Falls

What a sweet, free spot! This is a little Joplin jewel. A peaceful, cascading waterfall. A calm spot to think. A place for folks to wade in the water or others enjoy fishing. People love natural beauty, and some residents live just down the creek, so being respectful of Grand Falls is a must. Many flat, semi-smooth rocks allow spots to sit for a snack and take in this special beauty. It was nice to just relax and appreciate God's wonders. In addition to these sweet falls that are probably 10 feet high and over 150 feet wide, there are small trickling falls on rocky areas beside Grand Falls where you can get your feet wet without getting totally immersed. A great spot for families and friends, and there's enough room for about 10-15 cars to park, along a shoulder of the road, and in a small dirt/gravel lot beside the water. If you are in the mood for a walk, there is nearby McIndoe Park with a wide, paved sidewalk that also winds beside the creek leading to...

Grand Falls is one of my go to spots for getting away from the hustle and bustle of life's busy accolades.

It is also a great spot to show those visiting or passing through. The falls are conviently located just off of the highway.

The falls are open to the public and it is free to visit year round. There is no specific parking when visiting, cars usually line the street. It typically is not overcrowded, but the visitation does pick up during the summertime peak hours. Occasionally, you'll see people fishing, hiking or even swimming down at the bottom, a little away from the waterfall.

Overall, I highly recommend atleast a 10 minute stop if passing through the Missouri to Oklahoma state-line. It is beautiful but be careful of all the rocks and watch your step. I would not recommend for those who are walking-impaired as this scenic area is not readily accessible. However, you can still view Grand Falls...
