All my sweet readers know that I LOVE my home state. Let me tell you about one of the reasons our nickname is The Natural State. Our beautiful mountains are home to stunning waterfalls.

Partial synopsis from Tim’s Website : ARKANSAS WATERFALLS GUIDEBOOK – Second Edition (first published 2011, updated in 2014 with NEW Newton Counry road #’s – every road was re-numbered by the county in 2014). This guidebook from Tim Ernst features all the info you need to find more than 200 spectacular waterfalls and cascades in “The Natural State.”
My Thoughts: We actually have the first edition that I purchased long ago and frequently reference after some wet weather. If you live anywhere near Arkansas, this book is an absolute *MUST* for your library! We enjoy hiking, so we appreciate Tim’s directions with the trails as well as the bushwhacks. It’s nice that he points out interesting rock formations and historical sites along the route. Hiking isn’t for everyone, of course, but don’t worry. You can still enjoy this book. Tim lists falls and cascades you can see from the road that you probably wouldn’t notice when travelling at 55+ MPH! I know, right?! Just slow down a little, or park to snap a few photos! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the beauty of my home state!
Where is you favorite waterfall?
