We love waterfalls and fall foliage, right? Who is to say we can’t have both at the same time? This waterfall in Kansas is always beautiful when it’s active, but it’ll be especially stunning once it’s framed in beautiful shades of red, orange, and gold. Plan to come a day after recent rains and you’ll be treated!
Do you recognize this waterfall? Cowley State Fishing Lake is a stunning spot no matter what, but this fall it’s bound to be even better.

The Lake sits in Ark City, which has plenty of bluegill, channel cat, bass, and sunfish. But we’re not here for the fish, are we?

Around the waterfall, there’s plenty of great views of all the trees around the lake, and even more if you walk around.

There’s even a perfect vantage point where you can watch the water without getting wet, and see all of the foliage surrounding it.

If you’ve got the time, it’s a short walk from the road to the waterfall, where you can look at all of the fall colors you love and listen to the waterfall’s rush.

If you’ve got waterproof shoes or your splashing boots, taking a walk with your toes in the water is always a fun fall activity. The sun isn’t beating down on you, and the water sounds are oh so relaxing.

As always, the best time to visit is after they’ve had a little rain in the area, but not so much that it’s flooded or muddy.
