Within Springfield

Hawksbill Crag/Whitaker Point

Scenic spot

👍👍 Great hike, not terrible difficult, GORGEOUS views! But beware… the SIX MILE drive off the main road is ROUGH. It’s a dirt path, rocky, curvy, & bumpy. Definitely worth it, but bring a vehicle you don’t mind getting dirty.

4.90 (670 reviews) (~147.07 km from centre)

Yellow Rock Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 What a magnificent place....so much to take in that is absolutely no way this trip could be enjoyed in a single day. I highly suggest camping and hiking the trail over the days that follow.😁

4.90 (301 reviews) (~179.58 km from centre)

Rock House Cave

Scenic spot

👍👍 Super cool "cave" (actually a rock shelter), so glad we saw it! Pretty short trail and fairly easy but there are some rocky steps. You can actually walk inside (many caves across the US are closed). It's so much bigger than we thought! There are also some pictographs along the walls of the cave whic...

City Rock Bluff

Scenic spot

👍👍 City Rock Bluff was very beautiful! Views up and down White River. Be careful though there is no railing! You have to go down a gravel road to get to it and there are no signs, I don’t think anyway, but there is a huge outcropping of flat rocks on the right about 3 miles (guessing) down the road....

Rock Eddy Bluff Farm Cabins

Mountain cabin

👍👍 My family and I stayed at Aunt Phoebe's in May and we loved the off grid experience and the property so much we wanted to go there for Labor Day weekend, but it was already booked so we stayed at Indian Bluff House Cottage. I am so glad we did. I had no idea how grand the view was from the bluffs t...

Palisades Overlook

Scenic spot

4.90 (58 reviews) (~234.76 km from centre)

Magnolia Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 It's an easy walking 2 miles loop trail. Trail isn't clearly marked. Please pass the word, when the trail split, follow the creek on the left to the water falls. It is a hidden scenic. Definitely worth the hike.

Self-guided golf-cart tours along a scenic trail with dramatic waterfalls & a cave with a bar.

Arkansas Grand Canyon

Scenic spot

👍👍 This place is just magical! I'm not a huge fan of the winding roads in a fully loaded 4 door tahoe but, I can't wait to get my bike down there! It will take your breathe away at just about every turn. Love it and highly recommend coming to experience it yourself!

White Rock Mountain

Cabin rental agency

Modest mountain lodging in accommodations from the 1930s with fully equipped kitchens.

4.80 (531 reviews) (~178.71 km from centre)

Glory Hole Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 Such a cool place to visit and enjoy nature. Not a long hike and wide trail. It was easy enough that my sister and I took our 4 kids ages 10 to 6 and they didn't have any trouble making it in and out.

Haw Creek Falls

CCC Scenic Overlook

Scenic spot

4.70 (107 reviews) (~180.72 km from centre)

Kings River Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 This trail is off the beaten path down some gravel roads. The trail is well marked and an easy walk/hike. It is also very shaded which helped to keep us cool. The views are amazing. We didn’t get to see any Eagles but the hike was worth it anyway. The trail head is well marked and has a gate at the...

High Bank Twin Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 What a beautiful area with multiple waterfalls! The scenery is spectacular with clean flowing water. Be sure to watch your step, as there are many loose rocks along the "trail". Although it is not a flat path, it is doable with shoes that have good grip. In regards to parking, there is a small parki...
