Flatside Pinnacle, Arkansas 72126, USA

Dry Creek, Arkansas 72455, USA
It should come as no surprise that Dry Creek Scenic Area is brimming with scenic sights. (It is a scenic area, after all.) However, nothing can prepare you for the breathtaking beauty that awaits. From overlooks and sandstone bluffs to a seasonal stream and secluded forest, the 6,310-acre scenic area’s got it all! For more information, click here.
Hemmed-In Hollow, Arkansas 72624, USA
No list of Arkansas adventures would be complete without a mention of Hemmed-in-Hollow Falls. At nearly 210 feet, it’s not only the tallest waterfall in Arkansas, but it’s also tallest waterfall between The Rockies and Appalachians. A 5-mile out-and-back trail leads to the stunning cascade. Rated as hard, the trail isn’t for everybody, and that’s okay because it’s not the only way to access Hemmed-in-Hollow Falls. The waterfall can also be reached by floating the upper Buffalo River.

Devils Canyon, Arkansas 72947, USA
Located within the the Ozark National Forest, this scenic area is practically overflowing with natural beauty, including huge rock formations and two waterfalls – one of which is at least 60 feet tall. You can easily explore the scenic area via a 4.6-mile loop trail. Prepare to put forth some effort – the trail is rated as moderate. For more information, click here.
