Forked Mountain Falls is one of two scenic waterfalls located in the shadow of Forked Mountain, the other being the Twist Cascade. Situated in the Flatside Wilderness of the Ouachita National Forest, Forked Mountain rises to an elevation of 1,350 feet and is surrounded by spectacular vistas of the Wilderness Area and National Forest. Forked Mountain Falls is easily reached by hiking just under a mile along a trail that begins just past the South Fourche Campground and crosses the creek several times before coming to the base of the waterfalls and the large pool into which it flows. A slightly further hike downstream and across the stream on an old, overgrown road trace will bring you to the second waterfall of Twist Cascade.
