Tourist Guide

Very cool hike with a 200 foot waterfall at the end .. the hike is different than most because on the way there you're dropping elevation and it's mostly down hill. The way back takes a bit longer since you're going all up hill. Wear good hiking sneakers. Bring plenty of water especially for the hike back. Follow the trail. Don't try to take any short cuts cuz they aren't short cuts I promise haha

Hemmed-in Hollow is one of the beautiful waterfalls located in the Buffalo River Wilderness Area. This towering waterfall is best accessed from the river. The trail is located between Steele Creek and Kyle's Landing, both popular camp areas and river access points along the Buffalo National River. I don't think the trail is marked, but it's not a secret and there are usually plenty of people who can guide you on where to stop. It's about a 1.5 mile trip each way with a little elevation gain...but not a difficult hike. You can reach Hemmed-in Hollow over land, but that is a more strenuous hike.
Beautiful day to hike.
Hemmed-in Falls. When we arrived, there was just a trickle of cold water flowing. For best viewing of the waterfall, go after a good rain.

Cities near Compton

Hawk's Bill Crag/Whitaker Point. One of the most photographed points in Arkansas. It has a beautiful site to be hold. The trail leading to the crag also has many waterfalls.

Kingston

Nestled in the hills of Arkansas, within minutes of the Buffalo National River, is a hidden gem of a cabin. Boasting a wrap-around porch with hand peeled cedar, this cabin took 2 years to be built. A steady spring can be heard trickling into the pond below. And on summer nights the wild croaking can be heard from the pond's residents. 15 minutes from this cabin is Boxley Valley, home of the famous Arkansas Elk Herd. Horseback riding is also available on a 180 acre ranch. Don't forget to sign the guestbook if you choose to stay, guests from near and far have written about their travels and stay.
