The falls
Hedges Pouroff is one of dozens of 118 ft ribbon falls that ring the Buffalo River watershed. It runs hardest in late winter and early spring, when snowmelt and Ozark thunderstorms recharge the creeks. Detailed route notes for this falls are coming soon — check back for trailhead directions, GPX, and current conditions.
Getting there
Short, easy ~400-yard round-trip walk — no GPS needed. Falls are at 35.94495, -93.41705 (Boxley Quad — UTM 462401E, 3977713N). The view from the rim is amazing, but the falls drop straight off a tall bluff: use extreme caution near the edge, especially with kids or in wet/icy conditions. It's also notoriously hard to photograph well from above — most shots only capture the rim, not the full 118 ft drop.
