Haw Creek Falls - Ozark National Forest
Took the kiddos adventuring again after work! We've been to Haw Creek Falls before, but never when we could swim and play. Today was that day.
Nestled in Ozark National Forest just about an hour from Russellville, Arkansas is Haw Creek Falls - a cherished destination for generations of Arkansans and adventurous travelers. It's history dates back centuries, as it was once a sacred site for indigenous tribes, who revered the natural beauty and sought solace in its serene surroundings.
Later, during the pioneer era, Haw Creek Falls became a rest stop for travelers and traders on their journeys through the untamed wilderness of the Ozarks. The legend has it that the creek's name was inspired by the majestic hawks that soared high above the falls, adding to its allure. We saw zero hawks on our visit, what a bummer! Good news is, we did see plenty of fish and a couple of colorful snakes.
Today, Haw Creek Falls continues to be a favorite spot for families and folks with furry friends seeking the beauty of the cascading waterfalls and the refreshing swimming holes. It is a perfect and easy local getaway to create lasting memories with loved ones.
Visiting Haw Creek Falls was not just a day of adventure but also an opportunity to connect with nature and honor the rich history that flows through this magical place.
There is no Day Use Fee for Haw Creek Falls.
