Jasper Cabin Rentals Waterfalls Buffalo River


Up in the Boston Mountains is where it all begins for the Buffalo National River. The stream runs up north and towards the east into the Ozark Mountains where it becomes the beautiful Buffalo River we all know and love. In the Ozark Mountains, the stream connects to the White River in Buffalo City.

Ponca, Arkansas is just a few miles from Boulder Bluffs, the highest rated and most reviewed Jasper AR cabin rentals, and that is where the upper Buffalo boasts its greatest views. Whether you are hiking one of the soaring bluffs or the countless hiking trails along the side of the Buffalo River or taking a relaxing float down the great Buffalo, you will encounter numerous waterfalls, new wildlife, and historic buildings. This untouched wilderness is nature’s mid-America destination of your dreams!

The Buffalo River has held its beauty because it is protected by Congress. In 1972, it was made America’s very first National River. This means that any sort of commercial or residential development can not take place anywhere on this sacred land. The Buffalo River will remain intact and protected for those seeking adventure to explore and discover.

Waterfalls

Jasper Cabin Rentals Waterfalls02 Buffalo River


Along the Buffalo River, not only are there endless Jasper AR cabin rentals but there is also an abundance of beautiful waterfalls. Here are some of the most breathtaking falls in the area:

Lost Valley

The Lost Valley trail is 2.2 miles long and is the best hike in the state of Arkansas. The falls at Lost Valley are best seen after a nice rain but even in the summertime, it is a beautiful sight to see. There is also an extended piece of this trail where you will find a fall inside of a cave. This will require a flashlight and a bit of crawling but is absolutely worth the adventure. Keep an eye out for the friendly bats hanging upside down and enjoy the view once you get inside!

Hideout Hollow 

This is an enjoyable 2 mile trail that will lead you to one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Arkansas. Cascading waterfalls scatter this hike and rumor has it that Jesse James and his posse used this hollow to hide from the law for a time. 

Hemmed-In Hollow

Hemmed-In Hollow is the largest waterfall you will find for hundreds of miles. It is best seen during the spring with consistent rainfall but the rock formations around the fall are themselves breathtaking. This fall is over 200 feet tall and is an absolute MUST during your stay.

Whitaker Point

This is one of the most rewarding trails in Arkansas and we are sure that you have seen this iconic point in photos around the world. During the hike to the point, you will have the option to take a left or to take a right. Both directions lead you to Whitaker Point. If you go to the right, you will come across some beautiful falls.
