Waterfalls within the Marinoni Scenic Area along the Ozark Highlands Trail, featuring large boulders, towering rock walls, and picturesque hollows. The area, named for Paul A. Marinoni, holds a main falls reached by scrambling and a smaller ribbon falls above the trail.
Marinoni Scenic Area Falls sits on Marinoni / Indian Creek tributary. It lies in Madison County, Arkansas. The site is on public land managed by Ozark National Forest (U.S. Forest Service).
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. Reaching it takes a moderate walk, so budget time and pack water before you set out. The nearest town is Fallsville.
When to go: Spring (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.
