Description
For a short hike, this trail contains some of the greatest scenery to be found along Arkansas' Buffalo River. The trail leaves the camping area and passes beneath the huge Siamese Beeches, two trees that have grown together over the years. The trail goes by the Natural Bridge, which is an interesting spot to see. It then goes on to Cob Cave, a massive overhang that once served as a shelter for native inhabitants. It is truly an awe-inspiring thing to stand at the back of Cob Cave and think about how many tons of rock is above your head. Finally, the highlight of the trail is the cave, in which you will find a 20-25 foot waterfall. Getting into the cave requires crawling for about 20 feet, but it is well worth it. Don't do this trail without a flashlight, or you will miss the best part!

Directions to Hike
