Oklahoma isn’t home to many waterfalls, so when we find one tucked away that’s amazing…we get VERY excited. Located in the prairies of northeastern Oklahoma near Pawhuska is Lake Bluestem…home of Bluestem Falls. This waterfall is created by the Bluestem Lake Spillway as the water cascades over rocks, creating beautiful flowing falls. It’s a picture-perfect spot hiding away that you’ll want to check out.
You’d never guess there’s a picturesque waterfall tucked away at Lake Bluestem. At first glance, it looks just like all our other lakes in the Sooner State.
