You may have already ventured to the playground, den, backbone, or even bathtub but there’s still one more devilishly gorgeous place to visit in Arkansas. Hiking down to Devil’s Canyon is a heck of a hike but the views are downright heavenly. Let’s take on the challenge and see what eye-candy treasures await.

This lush forest is part of the Devil’s Canyon Scenic Area.

AllTrails/Laura Cantu Although the scenery of the canyon is gorgeous, the hike is certainly not the easiest. The trail is only 2.6-miles long but the bit of bushwhacking and dramatic changes in elevation create an arduous trek. We recommend leaving the kids at home for this one.

It is a heck of a hike but the Devil’s Canyon landscape is simply grand.

Google/Karen Rivas The waterfalls along this trail are what keep people from accepting the challenge. Devil’s Canyon Falls (63-ft.) and the Devil’s Canyon Junior Falls (16-ft.) are the two featured falls on the trail but there’s still plenty more to see.

But wait - there’s even more waterfalls to chase in this area!

AllTrails/David Lonon Devil’s Canyon Falls and Devil’s Canyon Junior are the two named falls but there’s plenty of other cascades to capture as well. The photos of the deep turquoise water are stunning but still don’t quite capture the mesmerizing setting in person.

The waterfalls may be the most notable points of interest along the trail but they’re not the only thing to look for.

AllTrails/Diane Daugherty Wilson Take your time during the hike to gander at all the towering rock formations, wide crevices in the ground, and grottos fit for exploring.

After taking in the splendors around the creek, you’ll head up to a stunning overlook of the canyon.

AllTrails/Kevin Phillips The bluff views are breathtaking since all you can see is miles of the surrounding forest. One of the biggest perks of this trail is its seclusion.

The hike is difficult but the journey can still be enjoyable.
