Lower Buffalo Region, Ozark National Forest

Big Piney Creek is one of the most beautiful streams in the entire Arkansas Ozarks — crystal clear water carving through sandstone bluffs in a remote, lightly visited canyon. Big Piney Falls drops into this stunning drainage, offering a waterfall experience that rewards the effort required to reach it. The lower Buffalo region around Big Piney sees a fraction of the foot traffic of the upper river, meaning genuine solitude is almost guaranteed. Off-trail access; GPS navigation essential. Best flow in winter and spring.
