With all the rain we’ve had in Arkansas lately, our local waterfall fans will be in high heaven. If you’re tempted though, I’d like to point out that ALL creeks and streams are at full-flow and many will be dangerous to cross – likewise, when the ground is so saturated many of the trails will become hazardous, especially in steeper areas!
