Journey

How far have you traveled
How far must you go
What will you seek for
How much should you know
What end are you seeking
In the dreams you pursue
Are you satisfied daily with just being you
Is your life filled with mysteries
Does your heart have a song
Have you learned for a certainty
There's more right than wrong
When you meet friends in passing
Do you lighten their heart
Or do they glance away often
Relieved when you part
These are all simple questions
Asked again and again
You are leaving your footprint
Tread softly my friend

🚗 ARKANSAS WATERFALL ROAD TRIP
United States | ~177 miles | 2–4 days

This lush Ozark road trip winds through forested backroads, hidden hollows, and dramatic limestone canyons, linking together some of Arkansas’s most beautiful and underrated waterfalls. Expect short hikes, emerald pools, mossy cliffs, and a sense that you’ve stumbled into a secret corner of the South.

STOP 1: Spainhour Falls
A tall, elegant cascade tucked into a quiet forest canyon, best after rainfall.

STOP 2: Glory Hole Falls
One of Arkansas’s most unique waterfalls, pouring straight through a circular hole in the rock above.

STOP 3: Magnolia Falls
A secluded, seasonal gem with a gentle drop framed by rugged stone walls.

STOP 4: Falls Branch
A peaceful roadside waterfall that feels remote despite its easy access.

STOP 5: Dogwood Falls
A wide, tiered waterfall surrounded by dense Ozark woodland.

STOP 6: Richland Falls
Often called one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the state, with a deep pool and dramatic rock amphitheater.

STOP 7: Six Finger Falls
A striking multi-stream cascade where water fans out like fingers down the cliff face.

STOP 8: Falling Water Falls
A powerful roadside waterfall that thunders after heavy rain and freezes beautifully in winter.

STOP 9: Devil’s Canyon Falls
A moody, canyon-set waterfall reached via a scenic hike through rugged terrain.

STOP 10: Longpool Falls
A classic Ozark swimming hole finale, where a short drop spills into a wide, crystal-clear pool.

📏 Distance: ~177 miles
⏱ Ideal time: Late winter through spring (February–May)
💡 Tip: Visit after rain for the most dramatic flows, and wear good shoes — many trails are rocky and slick.

Canyons, cascades, forest silence, and hidden pools.
This is Arkansas at its most wild and rewarding.
