Waterfall Hikes in Arkansas (AR)
to explore
Arkansas's waterfalls arise in the Ozark Plateau and Boston Mountains in the north and the Ouachita Mountains to the west, where sandstone bluffs, steep gorges and river valleys focus creek flows. Many falls are spring-fed and sit in narrow, forested canyons protected in national and state reserves. Hikes tend to be moderate—rocky stream crossings, creekside scrambles and short canyon routes dominate—so Arkansas stands out for its concentrated multi-step cascades tucked into rugged sandstone gorges rather than long alpine drops.
