Fall is settling in the Nature State which means soon we can expect an explosion of colorful foliage. Some trees have already teased a preview of what’s to come but the full peak of color won’t be until the first of November. This colorful background gives a whole new reason to visit the more forested waterfalls around the state. One particular must-visit for the season is Six Finger Falls. Let’s take a peek at what astounding colors await.
Every waterfall in Arkansas is stunning (and even more so during fall) but one of our favorites for the season is Six Finger Falls.

The whole family will be able to navigate the trail to Six Finger.

The waterfall is photogenic year-round but there are a few things to consider when visiting this season.
Google/Casey Crocker First, as with any waterfall in Arkansas they’re best the day after a good rain. And second, our peak fall color is expected to be around the first half of November. The colors are suppose to be bold because of our mild and wet summer. Take these factors into consideration and get your camera ready!
You won’t be spending long hiking to this area but you’re sure to lose time while taking in all the beauty.

Six Finger Falls isn’t the only waterfall in the area either.
