Traveling Through Nebraska: Kinkaider Falls State Wildlife Area Hike
Located in the southern part of the Great Plains region of the United States, specifically in southeastern Nebraska, approximately 18 miles south of the city of Red Cloud, lies the Kinkaider Falls State Wildlife Area. This area offers an escape into the rugged beauty of nature. A highlight for the area is its unique hike to Kinkaider Falls. While many streams across the Great Plains don't have cascading water over rocky cliffs, the Kinkaide Creek provides hikers a chance to experience precisely that.
Hikers seeking to explore this natural wonder begin near the state wildlife area headquarters and follow the terrain northeast. A dense collection of deciduous trees marks the area near Kinkaide Creek's origin, which steadily releases water flow in its northeastern route. Following a descent through hilly territory along an unmarked route northeast, most hikers catch their first glimpse of Kinkaider's dry-rocky-beds at one of the creek bed's sharp horizontal switchbacks. This bend turns approximately east. Steadfast hikers are rewarded as they press onward from that creek bend with sightings of these coveted falls.
Some find a narrow hilly road originating about 0.75 west of this wildlife area management's North marker crossing in the valley marked best by big rocks 3 – 4 below, bestows for well prepared adventure seeker simple respite access and aid against overexertion on respiration.
Placid hikers heading east in the marked unsealed state-run gravel management track heading to find the falls get the required picturesque vistas with increased clear views away the eastwards on the management single-lane bridge approach as one gets very near to falls.
Hiking for Kinkaider Falls Wildlife Area feels pretty fresh due an abundance of topography leading up to most reaches on the grounds for best wildlife preserve. Some experience adventure on areas on ground slopes leading river down its falls reach just upstream and so feels this might easily best any wildlife access that were still relatively rare.
In the scenic hill-and-gully run part hiker here heads north at almost one-mile distance. Doves resound among the rocky tree holes which reach creek side. Hike the remaining narrow rock boulders trails across in dry mid prairies parts one manages to set eyes wildly upwards.
