Natural Falls-Dripping Springs

Natural Falls

Photo by Ben Prepelka

     At Natural Falls, the tallest cascade drops 77 feet into a cool, emerald pool, creating one of Oklahoma's most beautiful parks. Contrary to most thoughts about Oklahoma's landscape, this area is heavily influenced by the Ozark Highlands. The park is found just across the Arkansas border and Siloam Springs.
     Natural Falls State Park features unique environments where plants and animals have adapted to the high rocky ridges and the cool, damp environments below the falls and valley floor. A paved walkway provides easy access to the falls viewing area for those able to handled stair steps. The park, known to the locals as Dripping Springs, provides camping sites, picnicking areas, playgrounds and hiking trails. This remarkable area provided enchanting scenes for the motion picture Where the Red Fern Grows.
