Little Niagara Falls

A couple hundred feet from the parking area

Little Niagara Falls is a small two-tier falls, each drop about 5 feet, on Travertine Creek in Chickasaw National Recreation Area. Waterfall Hero says to enter the park from US-177 on Perimeter Drive, go right where it becomes a one-way loop, cross a low-water bridge and bear left into the Little Niagara parking area after 0.3 miles; obvious paths lead a couple hundred feet to the falls. The pool between the drops is a popular swimming hole. The rocks are very slippery.

Bluestem Lake Falls

About five minutes from the main parking area

Bluestem Falls is a series of drops over shale and sandstone below the Bluestem Lake spillway, northwest of Pawhuska. TravelOK directions: take Kihekah Avenue north from the center of Pawhuska to County Road 4070, turn left and continue over three miles to a fork, then take the left fork toward the spillway. A travel article suggests navigating to the Bluestem Falls main parking area; from there a short path, narrow near the falls, leads down in about five minutes. A low-water crossing on the way can be impassable after rain. Flow depends on water going over the spillway; use caution when the spillway is running high.

Sycamore Falls

No distance to the falls is published; the Travertine Creek Trail is 1.5 miles one way

Sycamore Falls is one of several small named drops on Travertine Creek in Chickasaw National Recreation Area. The federal place-name listing puts it between Cave Island Falls and Bear Falls, near Little Niagara Falls. NPS describes the Travertine Creek Trail as a mostly level gravel trail with bridges that follows this stretch of creek between the Travertine Nature Center and Pavilion Springs. Waterfall Record notes that the smaller Travertine Creek falls are reached along the trail near Little Niagara. No source describes Sycamore Falls as seen from the trail, so the exact place to stop is not described.
