Rocky Falls Waterfall
Rocky Falls, near Eminence, MO, in Shannon County. I shot this video in Autumn, 2012, as I climbed the face of the waterfall.
This place is seriously worth the visit! At the bottom is an awesome old-timey swimming hole.
Note: There are two ways to climb to the top. The first is to climb the face, along the right side (as viewed from the bottom). The second is to locate the trail that leads from the picnic area (between the parking lot and the waterfall) to the top of the falls.

Deploying into a Cave Spring in Eminence MO
Beautiful ROV footage of Round Spring in Missouri! Schools of healthy fish everywhere. This is what water looks like when it is protected by a state agency! We need more protections like this for our pristine waters in all states! This water eventually ends up in the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers.

Taum saves Eminence, Missouri
The people of Eminence had no idea what crept in the night. Using the Current River as a stealthy entrance to this sleepy town, a dragon moved closer. The dragon didnt plan on running into the river warrior, Taum.
Rocky Falls — Where water meets its match
For eons, water has shaped the landscape of this place we call Missouri. The rivers created broad floodplains in their march to the sea. In the Ozarks, water dissolved limestone, pockmarking the terrain with caves, sinkholes and odd limestone outcroppings.
But one spot in the state defied the relentless onslaught of water. Formed by volcanic activity, the St. Francis Mountains in southeast Missouri are made of hard igneous rocks. Here, water meets its match. The region is known for its shut-ins, where fast-moving water is confined by rock and forced to take whatever path it can find.
One of the finest examples of this is Rocky Falls Shut-ins, shown on our cover and in the photo at right. The best time to visit the falls is following a period of heavy rain when water runs over and around the pink and purple rhyolite porphyry rock that forms the shut-ins, creating a noisy aquatic symphony.
Rocky Falls begins as a swift creek that meanders through the hills. When it meets the rocks, it cascades down 40 feet before splashing into a wide pool that is a wonderful swimming hole in warmer weather. The falls can be especially spectacular in the wintertime when the ancient rocks take center stage.
A rugged path leads to a vantage point high above the falls. Visitors this time of year can make the trek without worrying about what might be hiding in those rocks. Be aware the terrain near the falls can be slick year-round. A fall into the frigid water can be hazardous.
Rocky Falls is part of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. It is located 9 miles east of Winona or Eminence. Take State Route H to NN and follow it to the Rocky Falls sign.

Rocky Falls Missouri conservation area---very large swimming hole
This is a great place to swim. The water depth is from 1 inch to way over my head. This swimming hole benefits from the heated rocks which warm the water running into the swimming area. You need two things to have fun here: a hot day and a summer that has had normal rainfall. Rocky Falls is located near Eminence, MO
