Hemmed-in Hollow Falls are located in the Ponca Wilderness Area of the Buffalo National River in the Ozark Mountains. At 250-feet tall, this waterfall is one of the highest you will find anywhere in the state and it is well worth your while to make the fairly strenuous 5-mile hike from the trailheads along State Highway 43 to see them, particularly if you come in spring or early summer when the water volumes are at their best.

The setting of the waterfall in an enclosed valley surrounded on three sides by towering 200-foot bluffs is impressive to say the least, even when the water volume is low. If you are exploring the Buffalo National River by boat or raft, the falls are easily accessible via a short hike from the river. See the Map
