Hardy Falls is best known for its unique and beautiful location rather than for its height. The most impressive view of the waterfalls is through a stone culvert that was designed to form part of the road to the top of Mount Magazine that was built in the 1930s. Designed by an expert named James W. Hardy, the beautifully handcrafted culvert happens to line up with the waterfall to create an awe-inspiring view, hence the waterfall being named after Mr. Hardy. Hardy Falls can be reached by following the road from the visitors center at Mount Magazine State Park for about 6 miles until the signage for the waterfalls can be seen on the roadside.
