Hike to Terry Keefe Falls
Terry Keefe Falls is a short but rewarding destination tucked inside the Richland Creek Wilderness of the Arkansas Ozarks. The hike to Terry Keefe Falls is relatively easy, making it a great option for families and casual hikers alike. Along the way, the trail winds through hardwood forest and follows the sound of the creek. As a result, anticipation builds before the waterfall even comes into view. Beyond the main falls, this area offers even more to explore. On the drive in, there are easy stops at Falling Water Falls, Six Finger Falls and Fuzzy Butt Falls, Intersection Falls, and several others. Because of these nearby options, Keefe Falls works well as either a quick outing or part of a longer waterfall day. Quick Glance Distance: Approximately 1.1 miles out and back Difficulty: Modera...
Six Finger Falls and Fuzzy Butt Falls
Falling Water Road near Ben Hur is home to many popular Ozark waterfalls. Some of them require a short, easy hike to see. Some of them are longer, tougher hikes. Others, such as the ever-popular Falling Water Falls, can be seen from the road. Six Finger Falls and Fuzzy Butt Falls are two others that are very accessible and easy to get to. Six Finger Falls, just like Falling Water Falls, is one that you can see from the road. You literally park next to it, walk 50 feet down a rocky trail, and you are there. Fuzzy Butt Falls on the other hand, cannot be seen from the road. But it is so close that I hardly even consider it a hike. If you are not a big hiker but still want to see some awesome waterfalls, these two are for you. They are so close together that if you are going to make the drive ...
Take a Dip at Falling Water Falls
In my first blog series, Big Piney Forest Waterfall Hikes, I wrote about my first visit to Falling Water Falls. On that visit, I was not prepared for a swim there. But in that story, I vowed to go back to take a dip at Falling Water Falls and do a follow-up post. So here it is. This is actually the third and final part to a series for a group waterfall hike. In case you missed the first two parts, we started the day at Pack Rat Falls near Haw Creek. The second stop of the day took us on a hike to Pam’s Grotto. It was a relatively mild day for July. But after a couple of hikes, we were all hot and tired and ready to cool off. So we made our way back across Hwy 7 to take a dip at Falling Water Falls. As much as the group enjoyed the two hikes, I think everyone was really looking forwar...
Falling Water Falls – An AR Natural Swimming hole
Welcome to Part 3 of the Big Piney Forest Waterfall Day Hike Series – Falling Water Falls. This one is the last stop of a day trip spent hiking in the Big Piney Forest near Pelsor. In you missed the first 2 installments, Part 1 was the first leg of our day trip, Haw Creek Falls. And Part 2 was a hike to Kings Bluff Falls. So be sure to check out those stories for more info, maps, and pics. Our final stop of the day was my first visit ever to Falling Water Falls. This is a popular and highly-photographed waterfall and swimming area that you’ve probably seen on Instagram, Facebook, and other places. It’s so photogenic that it even made it onto the header image for some of the pages on this site. If you are ever hiking in this area in the summer, this is the best p...
