Splash Around At The Bottom Of The 8th Tallest Waterfall After The 1.5-Mile Hike To Sweden Creek Falls In Arkansas

Not all worthwhile hikes go on for miles upon miles. There are lots of short-and-sweet treks in Arkansas, and one you don’t want to miss is the Sweden Creek Falls Trail. The 1.5-mile hike leads straight to a waterfall – but not just any waterfall. It leads to Sweden Creek Falls, which is the 8^th tallest waterfall in Arkansas.

The towering Sweden Creek Falls can be found in the heart of the 136-acre Sweden Creek Falls Natural Area, which is near Kingston.

Plunging 80 feet over the top of a rocky bluff, it’s the 8th tallest waterfall in Arkansas.

It’s not just one of the tallest cascades in the state, but it’s one of the most stunning, too!

Luckily, it’s pretty easy to access. The waterfall is located along a 1.5-mile out-and-back trail, which is rated as easy.

Before arriving at Sweden Creek Falls, the trail winds through the woods and past a smaller, 20-foot waterfall as well as several little pools.

Near the small fall, the trail splits. One way leads to the top of Sweden Creek Falls; the other leads to the bluff’s base and, ultimately, the base of Sweden Creek Falls.

Each route offers a different experience – and view. At the top of the bluff, you’ll find plants that thrive in warm, hot temperatures along with a bird’s-eye view of the fall.

The route that leads to the waterfall’s base affords close-up views of not just the fall, but the rainforest-like greenery that surrounds it.

If you choose to trek to the waterfall’s base, use caution. This route requires clamoring on rocky surfaces, some of which are steep, slippery, or both.
