Cedar Creek Falls

The best known natural waterfall in the state and a Central Arkansas favorite, Cedar Falls is the focal point of Petit Jean State Park atop Petit Jean Mountain near Morrilton. This 89-foot gusher spills into Cedar Creek and can be accessed via the Cedar Falls Trail, which winds through Cedar Creek Canyon to the "splash down." The trip is 2-1/4 miles round trip and is classified as moderate-to-strenuous. Cedar Falls Trail begins behind the breezeway at Mather Lodge, a majestic CCC rustic style mountain lodge, and winds down into Cedar Creek Canyon.
