This is an easy, well marked trail in Natural Falls State Park. Its main attraction is the stunning waterfall halfway through the trail.
The waterfall drops 77 feet off a cliff and into the water below.

It falls into a pool of water fed by natural springs. This is one of the only waterfalls in Oklahoma’s Ozarks, and it's a stunning one at that!
The trail is well marked and maintained.

Much of it is paved, and you’ll cross well constructed and beautiful bridges. The entire trail is only a one mile loop, and it's very easy to accomplish.
There are so many interesting natural features that you’ll come across on your walk.

If the waterfall at the end of the hike looks familiar to you, it’s because the movie "Where The Red Fern Grows" was filmed there in 1974.
You’ll need to pay a small fee to access this beautiful trail.

There is a $5.00 cash entry fee to visit the grounds. It is well worth the price, and there’s also koi ponds, gardens, and structures on the grounds to explore.
The best time to see this gorgeous waterfall is right after a good rainfall.
