6. Hemmed-in-Hollow Falls (Compton)
Hemmed-In Hollow, Arkansas 72624, USA
No list of Arkansas adventures would be complete without a mention of Hemmed-in-Hollow Falls. At nearly 210 feet, it’s not only the tallest waterfall in Arkansas, but it’s also tallest waterfall between The Rockies and Appalachians. A 5-mile out-and-back trail leads to the stunning cascade. Rated as hard, the trail isn’t for everybody, and that’s okay because it’s not the only way to access Hemmed-in-Hollow Falls. The waterfall can also be reached by floating the upper Buffalo River.
