Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

GRAND FALLS - JOPLIN, MISSOURI


http://www.visitmo.com/grand-falls.aspx Grand Falls in Joplin Missouri is the largest continuously flowing waterfall in Missouri. Grand Falls normally plunges 25 feet over a ledge; however, the day of this photo session was a day after severe thunderstorms, tornadoes and flooding, hence the muddy waters and higher waters.
DIRECTIONS:  Off I-44, exit 6; south on Route 86 two blocks; west on Glendale Road 1.5 miles; south on Jackson across the low-water bridge; immediately west on Riverside Drive two miles; Grand Falls is on the right.
5400 S. Riverside Drive
Joplin, MO 64804
Phone: 800-657-2534
Dawn-dusk.

ACCESSIBILITY:  The waterfalls are directly off the side of the road.  There is a pull-off parking area that allows you to see the falls from your car or move closer over a gravel area.
