The Falls is a 54-foot man-made, multi-level cascade on the south bank of the Wichita River, built upstream of the original falls that gave the city its name and later washed away. From the parking areas just inside Lucy Park on Sunset Drive, follow the concrete Circle Trail to the falls and return the same way. The city says the pumped waterfall is turned off indefinitely while it plans repairs, and the trail remains open, so check the city page before you go if you want to see water flowing.
