Let’s forge through the wilderness and discover a beautiful trail deep in the forests of Arkansas. The natural attractions are never-ending with this hike! Explore caves and view cascades along Almus Falls Trail. We don’t recommend this one for first-time hikers (maybe try one of these easy hikes instead) but any apt Arkansas hiker will enjoy the scenery with this one.

Into the forest we go for an unbelievably gorgeous adventure.

Almus Falls Trail is south of the Buffalo National River and within the Leatherwood Wilderness. You can get a feel for the area and see the trail's parking coordinates right here.
The main feature of the trail, naturally, is Almus Fall.
AllTrails/Jason Pohlmeier
The falls are gorgeous and well worth breaking a sweat for! The trail is about 4.2-miles long and loops around Almus Knob. The hike is rated as moderate and not heavily visited so be prepared for some light bushwhacking.
It's not the only cascade to catch though!
AllTrails/Brent Murray
Depending on recent rainfall the waterfalls along the trail are numerous! These pour-off falls are located further up Almus Knob.

They're not quite the show caves like nearby Blanchard Springs but they're still well worth touring! There are two larger caves on the east and west sides of the trail as well as numerous rock formations.
The towering rock formations are impressive but so are the views behind them!

Don't fret, there are plenty of vista look outs with sweeping views of Big Creek Valley.
