The Six Finger Falls In Arkansas Will Soon Be Surrounded By Beautiful Fall Colors
Fall is settling in the Nature State which means soon we can expect an explosion of colorful foliage. Some trees have already teased a preview of what’s to come but the full peak of color won’t be until the first of November. This colorful background gives a whole new reason to visit the more forested waterfalls around the state. One particular must-visit for the season is Six Finger Falls. Let’s take a peek at what astounding colors await.
The waterfall isn't particularly tall at only 6 feet. However, the 100-ft. wide creek has multiple cascades that create a beautiful landscape. Pair these with the surrounding trees and you have one picture-perfect waterfall to visit.
No bushwhacking or backpacking needed for today's fall. The out-and-back trail is under 200 yards away from the parking area. The trail is well worn and quite family friendly. For a map of the trek, use this one.
First, as with any waterfall in Arkansas they're best the day after a good rain. And second, our peak fall color is expected to be around the first half of November. The colors are suppose to be bold because of our mild and wet summer. Take these factors into consideration and get your camera ready!
This whole area is downright mesmerizing with the changing colors. Six Finger Falls (and all of Richland Wilderness) is a perfect showcase of Arkansas' natural beauty.
If you're up for more hiking you can venture to Fuzzybutt Falls (pictured), Horsetail Falls, or Intersection Falls. Falling Water Falls is also a short drive away. You could easily turn this waterfall excursion into a full fall getaway!
