Hill country begins west of Pocahontas, and that is where its two waterfalls hide. Saddler Falls takes a couple of moderate miles with 300 feet of climbing. Cottonwood Falls needs a single easy mile. Both trails allow dogs. Timing matters more than distance out here. Aim for the wet months, roughly November into April, since these little Ozark creeks go quiet once summer settles in.
