Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check U.S. Forest Service (Ozark National Forest) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Falling Water Falls drops about 10 feet. That makes it the 661st-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 3% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
Access is documented as roadside. No trail distance is on record for Falling Water Falls. The nearest town is Ben Hur. Confirm access and land status with U.S. Forest Service (Ozark National Forest) before setting out — some documented falls have no public route at all.
Spring. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
