Plan your visit
Arkansas PBS gives these directions: go straight on Pink Twist Road, and after 2.7 miles turn left onto Barnes Road. Look on the left for the remains of an old Forest Service road. Depending on your vehicle, you may need to walk the rest of the way, about three quarters of a mile, to the top of the falls. To reach the base, backtrack a few yards and ease down the bluff line.
The source gives about three quarters of a mile on the old Forest Service road to the top of the falls. The return distance is not stated; doubling it is a derived estimate. The descent to the base is not measured.
