Natural Falls State Park is located in West Siloam Springs, Oklahoma, 6 miles from the border with…read moreArkansas. If you're coming to Natural Falls for barbecuing, picnicking, short hiking, lounging around and camping...then this park is for you. I was scrolling through Google Maps and discovered a photo that looked intriguing. It was a picture of a 77 foot plunging waterfall among a scenic backdrop known as Ozark Springs. This Ozark Springs waterfall is the #1 top highlight at the park. The rest of the activities (I believe) are side compliments. So...if you're passing through West Siloam Springs, it could be worthwhile to check out Ozark Springs, and it doesn't take long to do. The trails map says 45 minutes, but it can be finished in less. The walk to the falls is half a mile at the most. You can find Ozark Springs along the Dripping Springs Trail. There are two parts to capturing views. First is from an overlook point high above. After completing this lookout spot, then it's 47 steps down to the bottom. The base of Ozark Falls has a boardwalk pathway leading you in front of the waterfall. I was tempted to step off the boardwalk to avoid the hand railing when taking pictures, but that wasn't not allowed. Also unfortunately, they don't permit swimming in the pool that Ozark Falls splashes into. But the waters appeared refreshing. You can connect Dripping Springs Trail with Ghost Coon Trail to combine two hikes in one. Or otherwise you can return to the Dripping Springs Trailhead and either choose another pathway or hang out, have lunch and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. There are a few other trails you can consider, but they're nothing dramatic. - Fox Den Trail - 1.5 miles to a "rock overhang and cavern area". - Bear Trail - hardly a hike but leads to Ozark Springs and intersects with Dripping Springs Trail. - Pine Ridge Trail - 3/4th's of a mile that navigates the perimeter of Natural Falls Park. It's $10 entrance fee for a day pass. You can pay at the Visitor Center. Plus inside the VC, you can purchase souvenirs from a small selection of items or buy snacks and drinks if you haven't arrived prepared. I noticed they have a lot of space for camping. Although I didn't spend a night here, the conditions for sleeping outdoors looked inviting. Btw...while walking along Ghost Coon Trail, I passed by these Yurts, or I'd describe them as huts accommodative for "glamping" or glorified camping. It's like upscale camping staying in tent - cabins. There may have been 5 - 6 yurts located beside the grass edge of the forest and pleasant looking for enjoying the great outdoors. Overall, Natural Falls State Park has a quiet setting and is fine for taking a few hours to breathe in fresh air, especially if you're in no hurry. Although I wanted more challenging hiking trails and activities to keep me occupied, I was okay with taking a lazy day to appreciate nature.

Accessible by sedan also is a big big plus bc my ignorant self did not take off-roading into account (and did it anyway) which I don't recommend esp if you have access to a Jeep or other all-terrain vehicle. I did this hike through the rain and it wasn't too bad but just watch out for slippery rocks. There are a bunch of slick rocks in the end where the cave is so don't be a dummy like me and try to traverse it because it's a little sketch but still super fun. You can easily dial this short hike into a workout and it'll def be harder coming back up. Bring some water and snacks to chill out at the cave, but always Leave No Trace~ Would definitely come back with my Jeep in the future. Winter time looks extra fun since the falls actually freeze over :O

One of the best views you will find in Arkansas! It is absolutely stunning. If you are looking for…read morea place to hike, this is it. Some pointers before hiking the trail: - It is referred to as an easy trail, though I would consider it more moderate in difficulty. There are a lot of rocks on the trail and uneven footing. You will be doing a lot of uphill and downhill walking so make sure to get some good hiking shoes/boots. - Try to drive an SUV or 4 wheel drive car because the journey to the parking area is largely a dirt road with rocks and gravel. There are a lot of twists and turns and it is a fairly steep drive up the mountain. Take County Rd 5, it's easier on the car, I promise. - Come earlier in the morning in order to get beautiful pictures and less groups of people. Makes for a much more enjoyable experience in nature. Overall, this is a must-hike trail if you're in Arkansas. The view of the peak is incredible and stunning. The journey there isn't too difficult as long as you are prepared. Highly recommend!

I think this was pretty easy to find and that's from someone who had never been in this area before. It's just a beautiful area, and this trail hits a lot of the natural scenery. There's a bathroom at the trailhead, and a decent amount of parking as well. Didn't see a lot of wildlife but there are boatloads of ticks in this area in the summer, so come prepared with lots of bug spray! Bonus for our trip this year, but this was one of the only hiking trails in the area that was open. There were several tornadoes around Memorial Day 2024 that left ton of trees uprooted and toppled, so this trail is clear as of June 2024.
