Waterfalls
As simple as water flowing over a ledge, waterfalls are very awe-inspiring and spectacular. Something that fascinates just about everyone, they are sought after jems hidden in nature. While some are as easily found as walking 10 feet from your car, many are also hidden deep in the forest down lengthy trails, or not even near a trail at all. Wherever the location, the destination is always worth the journey when it comes to finding a waterfall.
*Currently, there are so many more waterfalls within the Ozarks and Ouachitas than I have had time to photograph, gather information for, and list here. As soon as new information becomes available, and I am able to gather pictures, I will post those new waterfalls here.*
