Fall Scene along Falling Water Creek in Newton County

Taken with a Canon 1DS MKII, Canon 24-70 Lens @ 24mm, F11, iso 100.  If you have the time, one of the best short hikes in Arkansas is along Falling Water Creek.  You can find plenty of small waterfalls along the way.  The best place to start is from the Falling Water Falls waterfall on Forest Service road 1205.  Hike downstream for about the next 2 miles and you will be very pleasantly surprise.  If you run into any trouble, just hike up the hillside on the left side of the creek (facing downstream) and you will eventually come back to FR 1205.  I would plan for this hike when Falling Water Creek is not running so high that a crossing would be unsafe.  You can easily judge the height of the creek by viewing the water comin over Falling Water Falls.  In this 2 mile stretch of the creek you should find several great waterfalls entering the creek.
