Falling Water Falls, located along Falling Water Creek near the small community of Ben Hur, Arkansas, is a hidden gem in the Ozarks. In early August,
the area was drenched by heavy rainfall, and on an early Saturday morning, I set out to explore. Just before I arrived, a powerful thunderstorm added
another two inches of rain to the already saturated landscape, pushing the falls to flood stage with a torrent of muddy brown water.
Concerned about how long it would take for the floodwaters to subside and the creek to clear, I spent the weekend exploring the region, crossing
multiple flooded creeks in search of other waterfalls. By the end of my journey, I had hiked roughly 8 miles and photographed six stunning waterfalls.
On my way out Sunday afternoon, I stopped again at Falling Water Falls. The water had finally cleared, and the flow was perfect, creating a
mesmerizing crystal-like effect that made the wait well worth it.
