We're all in favor for stunning waterfall hikes but sometimes the ones you can see from your car make the best family memories. Within the McIlroy State Game Management Area in Huntsville resides three gorgeous falls that take under a mile of hiking to reach. In just a few short drives you'll see them all.
Today's feature is a little different than just one trail with three waterfalls but we promise it's absolutely worth the trip.
For directions to the parking areas for all three falls, use this map.
This under-an-hour road trip and hike is perfect for families.
The first of the waterfalls is Road 299 Falls. From your car the waterfall is just a few yards away.
Eagle's Nest Falls takes the most hiking of the three but you'll quickly be rewarded for your effort.
The parking for this one is the same place you'd park for a nearby trail, the Kings River Overlook. If you want to add a bit more adventure to your day we do recommend taking the 1.2-mile overlook trail, too.
This jaw-dropping waterfall takes under a mile to reach.
Instead of heading to the Kings River Overlook trail, go to the back of the parking for the unofficial trail to Eagle's Nest.
Our waterfall tour will end with Glory B Falls.
The parking for this one overshoots the falls by about a tenth of a mile. So after you park you'll need to follow the road back just a little until you see the creek. For more details on reaching all of these falls we highly recommend reading over Rick’s Hiking Blog.
We would love to see your photos of all three of these falls in our Facebook Group, Arkansas Nature Lovers. You should join for your chance to be featured and to discover why there’s nothing better than Arkansas’ stunning nature.
If you'd prefer to hike to three waterfalls, take your family to this trail, or check out Arkansas waterfalls for your checklist.
