Swim Underneath The Falls Along The Kings River In Arkansas

We’re reaching the end of summer but that doesn’t mean we’re out of time for a few more swim trips. After all, Arkansas won’t cool down for at least another month. If you haven’t made the trip (or just need another excuse to go) it’s time to visit the Kings River Falls. This waterfall-fed pool is the perfect way to wrap up your summer adventures.

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/

Kings River Falls feeds the turquoise pool found near the northern edge of the Ozark National Forest. The Kings River Natural Area has been owned by the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission since 1979. Take advantage of the seasonal hunting, year-round photography, and gorgeous trail in addition to your planned swim trip.

Most waterfalls rely on recent rains but the Kings River Falls typically stays wet year-round.

Even if the waterfall isn't in full force, the natural pool beneath still offers some refreshing wading.
Just about every angle of the fall can be enjoyed.

Two distinct alcoves surround the pool, the shelter behind the main waterfall and another to left. There are plenty of nooks and crannies to explore during your swim.
This cool pool is ready for your final summer swim trips this season.
