I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
Richland Creek Wilderness Area is a popular hiking destination with lots of breathtaking waterfalls. Most widely known include the Twin Falls, Fuzzy Butt Falls, and the Richland Falls. But have you heard of the Terry Keefe Falls? If not, take the 1.1-mile hike that is full of jaw-dropping bluffs, and you’ll be amazed at the end of the trek.
Nestled inside the Ozark National Forest near Witts Spring is Terry Keefe Falls. The 78-foot waterfall is the tallest in the Richland Creek Wilderness Area.
The trail is moderately easy with a 200-foot gain in elevation, which makes it great for kids and your furry friends. Be sure to keep the pup on its leash.

Best of all, you’ll enjoy getting close to the falls to admire it all. The jaw-dropping 78-foot plunge into a small pool will leave you mesmerized.
