Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service.

Beautiful falls and platform but if you are adventurous, take the “sort of” trail along the creek to the falls... be forewarned that the hike back UP is difficult! Especially if you are climbing “challenged”! In my case, at 75, I should have stayed on the platform!!

Great hike. Rucked 30 lbs, made it out OK, but it was challenging. On your hike down to the falls from the trailhead you will get a sense of how steep the hike back up will be. It's well maintained, but no facilities at the trailhead or otherwise. Falls were at a trickle but still worth seeing. It's incredibly hard to capture the scope of the falls with a picture. Not much for blazing or signage, but it's pretty straightforward, and only 1 spot about 1.7 miles in where the trail takes a bit of a u-turn and I wasn't confident I was on the correct trail for a bit.

Although, I agree the road is not perfect I took my KIA Sportage (a crossover) and had no problems. It was fun! The key is to use 'common sense' because it is a 20 - 25 degree down and upgrade with potholes and some rocks to drive over. For instance, after rain, it could be very muddy, and I would not even go down this road, and a vehicle with low clearance could have challenges. Moreover, my top speed going down was around 16 mph (if that) and using lower gears kept me from using my breaks from overheating and glazing over. The worst part of going down to the falls was about 1/2 way the part (look for the Indian figure posted on the privet drive and no trespassing signs on the left side) this is where the road has been washed out by rain and perhaps the most challenging for beginner drivers. In any case ‘slow’ is fast and at the bottom of the road is a privet residence (I think) and some boy scout camp. It is a short hike to the falls (the signs will guide you) and be prepared to have muddy shoes after you enjoy the falls. The journey back up is using ‘common sense’ again go slow and be aware of obstacles. All this said just have some fun and be careful.

Rated 5 stars since I have been to the Glory Hole many times. It is wonderful and easy hike. Best after a rain. Very unique water cutout thru rock bluff. Unfortunately on 4/18/20 it was closed due to Covid-19.
