Two Waterfalls In Petit Jean State Park – Central Arkansas
Both waterfalls shown are located in Petit Jean State Park in central Arkansas. It’s a great park with many trails, beautiful scenery, and cabins built by CCC workers in the 1930s.
Petit Jean Mountain juts up abruptly from the Arkansas River Valley. Cedar Creek has carved a steep canyon through the mountain. These waterfalls are along Cedar Creek. The one atop this post is aptly named Cedar Creek Falls. The one below is more appropriately called a cascade and appears to be unnamed.
- Lord of Leisure was previously known in these posts as Mr. Science. Both Lord of Leisure and Mr Science spend most of their time disguised as Neil Ellis, mild-mannered, retired teacher at a great suburban school system, who can identify a bird by its call, complete the New York Times Friday Crossword in ink, and snap a heck of a photo. All Lord of Leisure photos can be found at Photos – Lord of Leisure. [↩]
When some from the South refer to Arkansas as “God’s country,” there really is little to argue when they’re referring to the areas such as these.
