Cattail Falls is known as a "secret falls" in Big Bend National Park. It is a less popular destination than most in the park. This waterfall can be found on the north side of Cattail Canyon and is in a small oasis with dense vegetation in flowing water. There are pools and rocks around the falls that make it a serene space. Visitors are asked to no swim in the water and to avoid trampling the vegetation. This is an important and fragile water source for animals in the area.
