Falls Creek Falls, Lake Catherine State Park, Arkansas. March 9, 2009.
On my birthday Betsy and I were able to do some hiking in beautiful 80° weather. We got to western Arkansas fairly early in the day and went to St. Catherine State Park (near Hot Springs) to check out a waterfall, Falls Creek Falls.
Falls Creek Falls is used to advertise Arkansas State Parks, so we were interested in seeing it. Of course, there was also something of a personal connection as well. Our ‘special’ place is Fall Creek Falls here in Tennessee, so we were eager to see what that extra ‘s’ would mean. Actually, I guess we’re just gluttons for punishment, having to keep Fall Creek Falls separate from Falls Creek Falls!
We had a nice hike of just under a mile from the parking area to the falls. Much of the trail followed the shore line of Lake Catherine, which made for a nice hike. Once we got to the falls we were able to enjoy the falls and the setting.
You can enlarge the collage above to get a better view of our visit to Falls Creek Falls.

Oh my what wonderful views. Waterfalls, glorious and amazing. Love them George. And what a steep hill rising up just by the side of the rocks you are stood on. But the photo of Betsy is perhaps the loveliest. What a warm and friendly smile she’s got.
