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.
Its 8 ft drop is taller than about 1% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Its water comes from Haw Creek. It lies in Johnson, Arkansas. The site is on public land managed by Ozark-St. Francis National Forest (USFS).
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. Little to no walking is required, so it suits a quick roadside pull-off rather than a dedicated hike. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.2 miles round trip. The nearest town is Hagarville.
When to go: Spring (March-May) after rain. Flow usually peaks after snowmelt and heavy rain and tapers through late summer — a quick look at recent streamflow and the managing agency's conditions page can save a wasted trip.
