Rolling prairies and tree-dotted valleys sheltered by limestone-capped ridges surround Fall Lake. The lake is about a mile wide at the damsite and stretches up the picturesque Fall River for 15 miles. This scenic area has a wealth of native wildlife and vegetation.
Recreation: Fall River and Lake provide visitors with endless boating, water skiing, jet skiing and swimming opportunities. Anglers will find white bass, bluegill, crappie, green sunfish and channel catfish, to be plentiful. For birdwatchers and nature lovers, there is an 8,000 acre public wildlife area, where prairie chickens, waterfowl of all kinds, rabbits, wild turkeys, white tail deer, doves and quail are commonly seen.
Nearby: Fall River State Park is nearby, offering great fishing and birding along the river. Canoeing is also a popular activity in the park.
