Located on Mountain Fork Creek in the Boston Mountains in the Ozark Mountains, the aptly named Natural Dam is a natural dam in the middle of the creek and one of the most accessible natural waterfalls to visit in the state. Situated approximately 15 miles north of Van Buren, Natural Dam is an all-natural rock wall that spans over 200 feet and covers the entire width of Mountain Fork Creek, which feeds it. The dam and waterfall are set right next to a National Forest picnic site, which has a parking lot very close to the waterfall and offers pleasant picnic sites surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
