At 209 ft, Hemmed-In-Hollow Falls is one of the taller waterfalls in Arkansas — a plunge waterfall worth seeking out.
Hemmed-In-Hollow Falls sits on intermittent stream in Hemmed-In Hollow (Buffalo River drainage). It lies in Newton, Arkansas. The site is on public land managed by National Park Service (Buffalo National River).
This is a backcountry waterfall: a remote, long, or permit-required trek for prepared visitors. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 5.7 miles round trip. The nearest town is Ponca.
When to go: spring (after rain). Like most waterfalls, Hemmed-In-Hollow Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
