Locations & Directions

Today, when you visit our town of 1192 people, you will drive on the brick streets laid during the 1920s. You will find millstones from those early mills preserved in two public parks. Our community is conveniently located close to the capital city and only 50 miles from Kansas City International Airport.

Valley Falls, a Tree City USA, boosts a beautiful park. Along two full city blocks fronting K-16 highway are two additional parks dedicated to trees. One block, Grasshopper Grove, is a horticultural marvel with a wide variety of trees and flowering bushes. Memorial Tree Park across the street to the east is planted with bald cypress.

Valley Falls is a pleasant community of fine homes and tree-lined streets. It has modern utilities, as well as the finest schools and churches, an extensive area of parkland, and a swimming pool for recreational use. Fishing on the Delaware River brings fishermen from afar. The river also allows easy access to the Perry Reservoir by a pleasant trip of approximately 5 miles along the course of the Delaware River to the reservoir.

There are approximately 60 businesses in Valley Falls offering goods and services to the residents and visiting public. Walk the brick streets of downtown and shop for antiques. Or enjoy lunch at the local eateries! Enjoy an afternoon at our lovely city park complete with shelters and camping facilities

Valley Falls is situated on the Delaware River at the headwaters of the Perry Reservoir.  We are served by State Highways, K-4 and K-16.
