Review & FAQ:

Tucked away in the Ozarks National Forest along a short stretch of road that borders the Leatherwood Wilderness, Cougar Falls is one of four waterfalls in the area that offer excellent hikes and lovely views. Cougar Falls can be reached by traveling down Rand Road for about 1.2 miles and parking on the right-hand side of the road. From the parking spot, bushwhack downhill into the woods and keep following the little drainage to the small creek at the bottom, which will lead you to the top of Cougar Falls after about a third of a mile. The other three waterfalls, namely China Falls, Crosscut Falls, and Little Glory Hole, are a short distance away and can be visited at the same time.
