40 | Parks Info: 402-471-0641 SMITH FALLS STATE PARK S mith Falls State Park straddles the Niobrara National Scenic River 18 miles east of Valentine. The park interprets and protects the biological and scenic significance of the area, while allowing the public to view the state's highest waterfall. The area primarily serves day-use visitors, canoers on the Niobrara River and Basic camping. There is an ADA-accessible walkway to the falls. The south side of the river, where the falls are located, is maintained in a natural state. Hiking is limited to established trails to prevent erosion and protect rare plants. Although there is no vehicle access, a footbridge across the Niobrara links the falls to the north side of the park. Picnic sites, tent camping, restrooms, concession, and coin-operated showers are available on the north side of the river.
