The route follows an old road into Upper Buffalo Wilderness, then leaves it beside a small creek for the steep final descent toward the top of Bowers Hollow Falls. A base visit requires a separate bluff-line detour.

Plan your visit

Old road and bushwhack from FR 1410-B

Explore the Ozarks gives two miles each way from the high-clearance road-end start. Parking before FR 1410-B adds road walking; the base detour adds distance.

Where to start

Sources describe limited parking near the T at the end of FR 1410-B, reached via Cave Mountain Road and FR 1410. They advise stopping before FR 1410-B without high clearance and four-wheel drive; check current road access.

Timing & water

Avoid treating old road descriptions as current conditions. Wet weather can make the rough approach impassable.
