Location: Valentine, Cherry County, Nebraska
Water Source: Snake River
Drop: 8 Feet
Directions: Take Rt. 97 south from Rt. 20 N in Valentine for 22.5 miles toward Merritt Lake to the sign to Snake Falls. Take the road to Snake Falls to the right (west) for .6 miles to the Snake Falls Sportsman Club restaurant and park there. Pay the small admission fee (there was a Pay Box - mailbox - for the $1.00 fee for adults, .75 for children). The trail to the falls starts at the pay box to the right of the restaurant. Follow the trail back and to the left to the top of the cliff to see the falls.
Notes: I visited Snake Falls on March 21, 2003. You can get a good view of the falls from the top of the cliff, so there is no need to climb down the steep path to the river. There were signs with rattlesnake warnings along the path.
