    This is a hidden jewel in the Ozarks. It is absolutely beautiful, and the marina is right next door. Close to everything, but a world away.

    No hiking available! Website is inaccurate. Beautiful campground and marina. Disappointed to find there were no trails as advertised.

    Beautiful area with a lot of hiking trails. One or 2 are easy but the rest will be more difficult…read more We had my parents with us so we did the easy Homestead Trail and walked from the homestead to the viewing platform and back. Then we drove around a little and found parking areas at campsites close to the river so we could get other views. The ranger did tell us that we could get more places if we had 4WD. We stayed mostly in the middle and lower sections. I wish we'd gone at night for the night sky but wasn't aware of it at the time and needed to move on to our next destination. We will be back in the future to enjoy more of the river and the park.

    I finally made it to the Ozarks in AR! It had long been on my bucket list for years but now it's…read moregone from it. And today, I'm writing this review solely based on the drive down to Triple (aka Twin) Falls. If you are not into a long hike (2 miles+ one way), then this is definitely the one for you. To see the waterfall, you'll only need to take a very short hike from the trailhead (although driving down there is very winding and steep so there is even a road sign that says, "Cool your brakes" on the way.) Going back to the hike part, if you want to go up to the top of the waterfall however, you'll need to hike another 0.25 miles from the bottom but it's definitely doable even if you absolutely hate to hike/walk! The exact date of the hike was today (Wednesday, April 20, 2022). It had been raining on and off all day so the trail was muddy. But in my opinion, the rain made the whole experience so mystic, mysterious, and very green with abundance of water spouting out from the top of it. The water was, surprisingly, not so muddy. We took the time to explore the area for at least an 1.5 hours. Interestingly, not a single soul came and went during the whole duration of our visit; we had the whole area to ourselves. The area was so picturesque. It's definitely a great place for a meditation to empty your mind. You'll also have so many spots to take beautiful pictures from so many different angles. I HIGHLY recommend this place for waterfall chasers!!

Feeling a bit hesitant at first to do it on bike but it was the best feeling. It was a perfect 68, clear skies and lilac blooms along the way. The perfection was almost overwhelming. A tram is also available for a round trip adventure but the bike was just too fun to pass up. Along the way we saw all kinds of little critters, snakes, fish and birds. Stopped at the tree house, chapel and most of the waterfalls. On bike with all the stops about 2 hours, walking could easily be 3+. Bikes are $15 each and I highly recommend getting there early so you have your pick cause the good ones go fast. Some have baskets and you should get one of those and then fill it with a picnic lunch. Little under $20 per person for entry, with discounts for veterans, seniors and children. Large parking but the place is popular, so again if possible arrive early.

    I had to call in a few times. I had questions about what my tickets included, I had questions…read moreabout how to plan my weekend, every single person that I spoke to, went above and beyond to help me out. Then when we got there, the check in lady, recommended the Tram like we had been besties forever an we would really miss out of we didn't do it. 0 regrets. She was so right. Didn't love the restaurant, but literally everything else was amazing.

Three of…read moreus went fishing for Rainbow Trout, and we not only caught our limits - but they took numerous photos and gave us a free calendar with our photos all over it! The guide not only cleaned our fish, but packed them on ice in a complimentary styrofoam cooler! The lady in charge (Betty??) treated us like family. The guide not only helped us catch fish, but even brought us back for coffee and hot chocolate when we looked cold (heavy rains slashed the temps). First fishing guide service that I have ever wanted to use again - soon!

Debbie is a very…read moreknowledgeable woman that can also give you the story of Cotter besides hooking you up with a fishing experience you'll never forget!! From having highly Experienced Guides taking you out to catch more fish than any one person could dream, these guides will take you ashore to prepare a lunch of fried fish, hush puppies, taters, bananas pudding and a few jokes to start you back onto the river. ( There is also a Box lunch in place of the fresh fried that consists of what I'm told is sandwiches ) If you want a down to earth business that makes sure you catch a bunce of fish and a whole lot of memories, Call Debbie and let her hook you up!! What a Blessing to have found this place!! Thank you
