After it rains a little bit, do you remember to check local waterfalls and see how they’re flowing? This peaceful little waterfall hike is the perfect trail for adults and children who don’t want to walk too far before finding what they’re looking for. Come check out this little spring that we can’t get enough of.

Welcome to Alcove Spring Park, a beautiful area of Kansas that not only has a waterfall, but plenty of history as well.

The spring used to be important for those who needed water after a long trip, but today it's just a small attraction that's no longer necessary for humans traveling nearby.

In some areas, you can see wagon indention in the ground, and even old pieces of the past set up for display.

The paths you hike are well kept and easy for most people to access, but make sure you bring shoes you don't mind getting a little muddy, if it's rained recently.

But we want it to rain! Rainfall means the water will be flowing over the rock and into the shallow pool below.

It's an incredibly relaxing thing to behold, and if you have time to sit for a while, look at the inscribed rocks, and listen to the water.

Whether you're adventuring alone, with friends, or with your dog, you'll enjoy this beautiful waterfall hike hidden in a small park.

You’ll find this waterfall hike in Alcove Springs Park, located at 1834 E River Rd., Blue Rapids, KS.

If you love hikes through nature, you’ll find that this arboretum is the perfect place for a beautiful day out with the family.
