Collins Creek Cascade and Trout Stream is the home of the state of Arkansas' only documented population of wild brook trout, located in the town of Heber Springs near Arkansas State Route 25. The wild trout fishery is one of the state's newest fisheries, created by the damming of Greers Ferry Dam. Following the dam's creation, the cascade area became home to naturally reproducing populations of brook and rainbow trout, which are not stocked by artificial means. More than 40,000 gallons of water are pumped into Collins Creek each hour from the nearby dam, restoring the Collins Creek Cascade to its natural habitat. Visitors can enjoy excellent conditions for fishing throughout the year and hike through lovely natural scenery on hot Arkansas summer days, underneath a lovely tree canopy that keeps the area cool year-round.
