Editor's Notes
Snake River Falls carries more water than any other waterfall in Nebraska, though Smith Falls stands taller. It sits on private land just north of Merritt Reservoir, where a dollar in the drop box buys a look from one of two roped-off viewing points - and nothing more, no swimming and no hiking.
