The falls
Dismal Creek has eroded a clean circular hole through the overhanging sandstone, creating one of the most unusual waterfalls in the country. You can stand in the dry alcove beneath and watch it fall straight through the rock.
Getting there
Trailhead on AR-16/21 about 6 mi south of Edwards Junction.
