Little Bear Creek & Forked Mt Falls

Forked MT Falls (Ouchitas)



Hey, its not much but it is in the Ouchitas, not the Ozarks.

You are not quite to Forked Mt Falls (pic of gentleman in the orange hat) that is the last drop on Little Cedar creek. Forked Mt Falls is on Little Cedar creek but up stream of where you are, see Tim Ernst' Waterfalls of Arkansas book. Take FR86 off of Highway7 to FR 794 this road crossed Little Cedar twice, park at the gate, which is probably where you parked and hiked up the trail NEXT to little Cedar creek, follow the old jeep trail beyond the gate .65 mi an Forked Mt Falls will be on your right. It's about an 8' drop with a nice over look at the top. I hike up with my Kayak and run the falls and the creek back down to the low water bridge when the water is about 1' over the bridge.

I maybe be wrong, but the big hawk like rock is just to the left of the pix out of view and this does look much different than it did 6 years ago. I will double check, but I have been up and down Ceder creeks several times this past winter/spring. ( I maybe still be wrong, very possible)
