One of the most beautiful spots in Arkansas that I have seen so far. I didn't grow up here in this area, and i was only recently shown this spot. I really hope to explore it more soon. And I really hope they re open the caves soon!

This place is truly beautiful. I camped and fished here and had an amazing time. The area is well maintained and clean. The lake is stocked with big beautiful rainbow trout. The temperature got down to the low 30's at night and it was cold but not unbearable. You won't have any cell service while at the campground, but who cares! There is an abundance of wood to be chopped for firewood. I would definitely recommend to families or groups that appreciate nature.

There is parking right ahead of the mirror lake falls that is left side and park there you will finding excellent fishing spots throughout the year and you can enter onto the mountains from the bridge if you straight you will find path to right of the perpendicular to the falls reach the end of it and you will see a opening use that you will get your own spot. Try also taking path next to parking which will lead to the old mill that is now abandoned. It has good view

An awesome experience, very interesting. Camping, hiking, rock skipping, water wadding, just not a good idea this time of year. Beautiful sites to see. Really surprised at how the restrooms were. Waterfall and fishing in one area.
