Waterfall Park

Natural Features

At the heart of this peaceful 18-acre city park sits a manmade waterfall that's anything but ordinary. Tumbling down several stories into a picturesque lake, this artificial cascade has been so thoughtfully designed that it feels like a natural wonder. It's no wonder this spot has become a magnet for photographers and anyone seeking a moment of quiet reflection.

The 18-acre lake isn't just pretty to look at - it's a prime fishing location where you can cast a line from the convenient fishing pier. Though you're technically in an urban setting near Bass Pro Shops, you'll still encounter plenty of local wildlife. Keep an eye out for ducks and geese that have made this little oasis their home.

Trails and Recreation

Feel like stretching your legs? The park's 1.2-mile loop trail winds around, offering gorgeous views of the waterfall, seasonal wildflowers, and wildlife. The paved path is smooth enough for strollers, making it an ideal option for families with little ones.

If you're in the mood for a longer adventure, the trail connects to the Little Blue Trace Trail, opening up even more possibilities for walking and biking excursions.

Amenities

Kids will make a beeline for the well-designed playground that offers plenty of opportunities for climbing, sliding, and imaginative play. Planning a gathering? The picnic shelter comes equipped with grills, water, and electricity - everything you need for a successful outdoor meal.

You'll find restrooms available year-round and parking is plentiful. While the nearby commercial areas mean you're never far from conveniences, do note that some city noise does filter into this green space.

Waterfall Park strikes that perfect balance between natural beauty and practical amenities, making it an ideal spot whether you're looking to relax with a book or spend an active day outdoors.
