Rocky Creek Falls lies in the St. Francois Mountain region of Missouri. It is the highest continous flowing waterfall in the state.

The falls are really a large cataract, it can be quite photogenic when there has been plenty of rain.

The fall drains into a large pool which can be very popular with the locals in summer and warm spring and fall days.

The best photography can be done during the off season, early morning and during the week.

Part of the Interior Department's, Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Rocky Creek Falls makes for a good stop when in Shannon County or surrounding areas.

Mills, springs, rivers, and the Ozark forests await any eager photographer when traveling in the region.

Getting To Rocky Falls

From Eminence, take Highway 106 east to Highway H. From Highway H, turn onto Highway NN. Take second graveled roadway to your right and follow the signs.

If you cross a creek, you've gone too far.

If you continue on NN instead of turning to go to Rocky Falls, and take the left fork when the road changes to gravel, you will finally arrive at Klepzig Mill, another Top 10 Local Attraction
