Plan your visit
Arkansas PBS gives these directions, relative to the Pink Twist Road start used for White Oak Creek Falls in the same episode: go back down the highway before it turns to blacktop, turn left onto Mountain Top Road, then left at the T onto County Road 12. Past the S curve stay right to the bottom of the hill and turn onto Old Forest Road. Go about three quarters of a mile and park on the left. From there, walk down to the base of the falls.
The source gives about 0.75 mile of driving on Old Forest Road to the parking spot. It gives no walking distance to the falls.
Unmarked walk down to the base; no trail is described. Steep ground is likely but not described.
Where to start
Park on the left about 0.75 mile along Old Forest Road, per the 2013 segment. Whether this is a legal pull-off and whether the road is still passable are not confirmed.
