I know I gush all the time about the Cowley Lake Waterfall near Dexter, but… have I also ever mentioned how the Deep Creek Waterfall at Pillsbury Crossing is one of the most beautiful, yet underrated places in all of Kansas?
Located in Manhattan, the Deep Creek Waterfall is a 60-foot long, 5-foot tall waterfall featuring the clear and rushing waters of the Deep Creek.

The limestone slab that sits under the cascading river was once used by pioneers and was named for area settler Josiah Pillsbury.

Pillsbury Crossing was named one of the 8 Wonders of Kansas Geography not only for its beauty, but for the simple fact that it has been a Kansas landmark for generations.

On a hot summer day, there is no better place to be than Pillsbury Crossing, which serves as a popular cool-down spot for locals trying to beat the heat.

In addition to the creek and waterfall, there is much more to be discovered around the area, including native wildlife, shaded sitting areas, and even this original schoolhouse built by the town’s original settlers.
