Kansas, as one would expect, doesn’t have a wealth of grand waterfalls, but it does have a few. Located in the southern reaches of the Flint Hills, Cowley County Fishing Lake has a beauty that drops 30 feet across colorful layers of red shale. It’s a difficult climb to the bottom, but it’s a welcome place to be on a warm day, in the water spray at the base of the falls, where the steam spills over fossil-embossed limestone boulders. The falls are best viewed during the spring rainy season, when the waterflow is at its highest.
