This park is really neat, its not very big but for the area there is lots to do. You can check out the mill that does still work. The owner of the mill is very friendly and he said that they still grind some of his crops, and that they hold events to watch the process of how they do it. To see when they are holding these events you could call this number: (417) 476-5809.

Grand Falls
Joplin, Missouri
5.0
There really isn't much adventure in getting to the Grand Falls, because you could drive within 100 feet of it. Depending on when you go (season, day of the week, weather) will determine how easy it will be to park. But there is always some available every time i have gone.
The best times to go see this depend on what you want to do there.
For photography: I try to go on overcast days because...

This hike starts out on a half mile of paved trail. From here you will climb a ton of steps to the top, which when the leaves are off the tress can offer a pretty good view. The trail connects with a few other trails on the way but is well marked so you will know what way to go. Parts of this trail are a little rough so hiking boots are a good idea. For the most part the trail is well maintaine...
