FALLING WATERS, OZARKS NATIONAL FOREST-ARKANSAS

DESCRIPTION: This beautiful little waterfall is conveniently located right next to the road, so you don't even have to get out of your car to see it. A narrow dirt path leads to a nice big pool that the falls spill into, and it is a popular swimming hole in the summer.

DIRECTIONS:  At the junction of Scenic 7 Byway and Ark. 16 at Pelsor, turn east on Ark. 16 to Ben Hur, then go south about 1.5 miles until you reach Forest Service Road 1205. Turn east on this road and remain on it for approximately 3 to 4 miles. You'll be following Falling Water Creek and will come upon the falls to your right. They are easily visible from your vehicle.

ACCESSIBILITY:  The falls can be seen from your car directly off the side of the road. A small pull-off area is available with a narrow dirt path leading to the pool that the falls spill into. Getting to the pool would be difficult without assistance.

WATERFALL TYPE: Plunge-descends vertically, losing contact with the bedrock surface.
