Join OLLI Director, Josh Raney for a scenic 2-mile hike to Kings Bluff Falls. Located in the Pedestal Rock Scenic Area of the Ozark National Forest, Kings Bluff Falls is just under two hours drive (about 90 miles) from Fayetteville, Arkansas.

This hike offers stunning views of the 114-foot waterfall, especially after rainfall, as water cascades off a towering bluff. The trail meanders through dense, picturesque forest terrain, offering peaceful surroundings and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the Ozarks. The combination of waterfalls, rock formations, and the serene forest setting makes this hike a hidden gem in Arkansas, perfect for nature lovers and photographers alike.
