Arkansas’ Eden Is Unbelievably Beautiful And You’ll Want To Visit
The recent rains have revitalized natural state. Waterfalls throughout Arkansas are flowing at full force which means its time to hit the trails. One of our favorites is the Eden Falls in Lost Valley State Park near Ponca. Anytime is a great time to explore the outdoors but if you’re wanting to avoid the crowds we recommend planning a weekday adventure. Let’s put on our boots and start hiking the Lost Valley Trail.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Here's a tidbit: when you enter the cave be sure to go all the way to the back and stay to the left. There's a small passageway to see a waterfall hiding inside the cave. Take caution though and have a flashlight handy!
Anyone that appreciates Arkansas' natural beauty needs to take this hike. To reach the trailhead, simply take Hwy. 43 from Ponce to Boxley (keep an eye out for the Boxley Valley Elk). After two miles, you'll see the sign for the Lost Valley Campground turn off.
