Three waterfalls land inside Fayetteville's fifty mile circle, a thin count for the Ozarks. The one worth planning around is Eden Falls near Ponca, where a cave opens in the bluff behind the water. Figure about two miles round trip and 240 feet of uphill, dog welcome. Marble Falls needs no walk at all. McSpadden Falls takes a flat mile. These drainages go quiet by midsummer, so watch the forecast and go a day or two after a soaking rain.
