A gem of a park sits in the Arbuckle Mountains just north of North Texas DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com There’s just something enthralling about waterfalls.
Rivers may be wider, deeper, longer. But there’s just something dramatic about water rushing toward that precipice and falling.
Turner Falls is less than two hours north of Dallas and is the most dramatic waterfall in the area. Niagara Falls is wider — so wide, in fact, that the Niagara River splits and falls in two countries as the New York Falls and the Canadian Falls.
But the best view of either falls is from the Canadian side, and Canada doesn’t want us visiting right now. Angel Falls is higher.
