Wichita Falls Waterfall
(Wichita Falls TX)

Only in Texas! Wichita Falls was named after a 5 foot high waterfall in the Big Wichita River which washed away in a flood in 1886. In the 1980s, a concrete, 4-tiered waterfall was designed and built and, in a special centennial ceremony*, this 54 feet high, concrete Wichita Falls Waterfall was 'activated' to maintain the city's namesake. This miniature Niagara recirculates its water at 35,000 gallons a minute!

*Note: We were told that the community invited the mayor of Niagara Falls to come and participate in the dedication service of Wichita Falls Waterfall. :-)

How to get there:

From I-44, going southbound, you can see Wichita Falls Waterfall from the freeway.
