Haw Creek Falls
Haw Creek Falls is a low, wide cascade (about 6-8 feet tall and roughly 40 feet wide) on Haw Creek in the Ozark National Forest, adjacent to the Haw Creek Falls Campground on AR Highway 123. It sits near mile 104 of the Ozark Highlands Trail and is reached by a very short walk.
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 Ozark-St. Francis National Forest (USFS) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Haw Creek Falls drops about 8 feet. That makes it the 670th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 1% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Haw Creek Falls Trail reaches it about 0.2 miles (out-and-back), rated easy. The nearest town is Hagarville. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Ozark-St. Francis National Forest (USFS) for closures and current conditions.
Spring (March-May) after rain. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
