Not all worthwhile hikes go on for miles upon miles. There are lots of short-and-sweet treks in Arkansas, and one you don’t want to miss is the Sweden Creek Falls Trail. The 1.5-mile hike leads straight to a waterfall – but not just any waterfall. It leads to Sweden Creek Falls, which is the 8th tallest waterfall in Arkansas.

The towering Sweden Creek Falls can be found in the heart of the 136-acre Sweden Creek Falls Natural Area, which is near Kingston.
