You’ll Want To Spend All Day At This Waterfall-Fed Pool In Arkansas

Along the northern edge of the Ozark National Forest is the Kings River Natural Area. This Arkansas swim spot stands out from the rest since it's one of the few to have a waterfall-fed pool. Let's jump into the emerald waters and relax at this beautiful Kings River swimming hole.

If you haven't had the pleasure of visiting Kings River, then you really need to make the trip this season.

The whole Kings River Falls Natural Area is simply gorgeous.

The falls are breathtaking year-round, but they're particularly perfect during the summer.

It's not the only waterfall-fed pool in the state, but it'll definitely be one of your favorite Arkansas swimming holes.

But first, you may want to take in the beautiful surroundings by hiking the Kings River Falls Trail.

The easy 1.8-mile trail follows along the bank of the river and has a great scenic overlook of the falls.

Now you can reward yourself with a jump into this waterfall-fed pool.

It's the perfect cool-off after embarking upon a hike here (which by the way, is one of the most beautiful hikes in the state).

And there's a nifty little alcove where you can stay shaded from the sun.

But be sure to be very careful so you don't slip on the rocks.

These falls on the Kings River, Arkansas, make a great first trip for young folks to experience the Natural State's beauty.

A summer swim at this spot is a tradition the whole family can get behind.

And we really mean the whole family will love it.

Four-legged family members are more than welcome to the area, they'll just need a leash.

No matter who you bring, this emerald pool is a picture-perfect stop for your next summer adventure.
