Description

Added by Noah West

This is an amazing waterfall that is super easy to get to and doubles as a great swimming hole.

This is definitely a hidden gem located in the middle of nowhere. This waterfall is literally on the side of the road, which makes for a great place to stop and have lunch. During the summer it doubles as a swimming hole and great place to chill.

Getting there: Take Hwy. 16 east from Pelsor (located on Hwy. 7 between Jasper and Dover), past Pedestal Rocks Scenic Area, to Ben Hur. Continue past Ben Hur on Hwy. 16 for a mile and then turn left onto FR#1205/CR#68. Continue on this road for 2.3 miles and the waterfall will be on your right.

My family and I visited over Thanksgiving weekend. Primitively camped right near the main falls. This place offers a lot, and my kids enjoyed it. We'll be back during the warmer season so we can swim. The waterfalls and trails are all breath takingly beautiful.

Check out the ledges along the way and you’ll begin to see the pedestal rock formations. There are several areas where you can head off trail and explore the rocks and caves from below.

Camp at Richland Creek Campground

This is one of my favorite places to camp in Arkansas. Once you get there you can hike to Twin Falls or Sandstone Castle, or explore the numerous cascades along Richland Creek. It's a relatively small campground with 11 campsites, but has a lot of places to hang hammocks and also offers a picnic area and bathrooms.Getting there: Take Hwy. 16 east from Pelsor (located on Hwy. 7 between Jasper an...

Hike to Twin Falls in the Richland Creek Wilderness Area

This hike begins at Richland Creek Campground. There's a trace trail that begins from the lowest walk-in campsites and continues along Richland Creek as you head back towards the waterfall. Parking and trailhead coordinates are 35.79839, -92.95774. It's not quite a bushwhack, but it's still a pretty tough hike. It's slippery when wet and slipper when dry. One slip on the steep canyon walls coul...

Backpack to the Sandstone Castles

From the Richland Creek campground, Twin Falls is an approximate 3 mile hike followed by another mile (give or take) to the "Castles". Directly above a small camping area on top of Twin Falls there begins a more primitive trail up the center on the ridge that will take you straight to the enormous bluffs and 2 large caves that make a solid campsite for anywhere from 1-10 people. The hike is fai...
