Hemmed-In-Hollow Falls

Hemmed-In-Hollow Falls is located in the Ponca Wilderness Area of the Buffalo National River in northern Arkansas. The falls rise 209 feet in height (64 meters).

In Hemmed-In Hollow, a small valley surrounded on three sides by 200-foot (61 m) hills, the waterfall can be found. There are at least three separate hiking routes that go to the location; however, Centerpoint Trailhead and Compton Trailhead on State Highway 43 north of Ponca are likely the best options for visitors looking for parking and starting their trip.

The flow over Hemmed-In-Hollow Falls is moderate for the majority of the year and can nearly completely disappear during dry spells. The water separates into thousands of tiny droplets as one looks above. The falls are always dancing because of the wind swirling through the canyon. Water spills from the cliff heavily during periods of heavy rain, which are often in late winter or early spring. This is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Arkansas.
