| Description |
Falling Trails is located in the 12,000-acre headwaters area of the Buffalo National River. The BNR headwaters are part of the surrounding 1.1 million acre Ozark National Forest. Just downstream from the headwaters is the Upper Buffalo Wilderness Area and below that approximately 130 miles of the free-flowing Buffalo National River including 4 more wilderness areas.
The Ozark Mountains are the meeting grounds of north, south, east, and west. Typical flora, fauna, and traditions from all around meet in the rough terrain of the Boston Mountain area of northwest Arkansas. Because of its dense forests, steep slopes, and very rough terrain, mainstream American culture spread around the Ozarks. The local residents developed a spirit of backwoods survival and cultural independence.
The vegetation is primarily mixed hardwood forest with occasional areas of pine and cedar. The terrain is steep and rough with some long valleys and undulating ridgetops. Vertical rock bluffs circle the hollows running with waterfalls during wet seasons. The underlying rock is sandstone and limestone. The limestone layers naturally produce caves. Many are very large and some not completely explored. Three species of endangered bats use the limestone cave habitats.
