*** Review is during COVID-19 ***…read more Came here earlier in the summer and it was so fun. This is a great spot!!! We wanted to find a swimming hole one day, which I now know can be very difficult to do! After driving around and around to several different spots for hours, where place after place turned out to be unsuccessful or just nonexistent, we were almost ready to give up. Then we remembered one more spot we could try... a swimming hole we'd been to when I was a little kid, with surprisingly clear blue water. We couldn't remember the name at first, but after some calls to my Grandma (always a great resource!) she helped us remember that it was Little Blue! Little Blue was still a bit hard to track down, but we eventually made it there, and had FINALLY found a spot worth staying around for! The water was as pretty as we remembered. In the shallower parts, it's crystal clear and you can see lots of pretty rocks on the bottom and sometimes little fishies too! The deepest part becomes a pretty blue color, and the water went up to at least between my elbows and shoulders (maybe more?). That deepest part isn't a huge area, so a little hard to stake your claim on it if you are trying to social distance, but overall there's plenty of space to spread out. It seemed to me like there were two areas: the area I just described, and then more river down to the left of that. This second area is much less populated, but I can see why, as it kind of quickly starts to get a pretty fishy smell as you go further and also has some animal bones (yeah...). Aside from the water, there's also lots of parking space, where many people had also set up camp (as in literally to camp in a tent for the night). We went on a Saturday (reminder that this was also in the "heat" of summer, no pun intended) so there were quite a few people. However, we were still able to stay a safe distance from others... we did have to be pretty mindful of it though, since others did not appear to be doing the same. I would give 5 stars if it (and other swimming holes in Oklahoma) had better information for people to find and clearer locations/directions!!! It's honestly pretty ridiculous. Also because that second swimming area down to the left could use a little work.

Natural Falls State Park is such a gem and absolutely worth the visit. The moment you step out of…read morethe parking lot, you're only a short, easy walk away from the breathtaking waterfall overlook. It's one of those views that hits you immediately, lush greenery, coolness in the air, and the kind of peaceful atmosphere that makes you want to linger a little longer. The park offers several amenities that make the visit comfortable and enjoyable. Clean restrooms, shaded picnic areas, a small playground, and well marked trails. Everything feels thoughtfully maintained, and the whole area has a calm, welcoming vibe. Once you've taken in the main waterfall, there are a few short hiking trails that branch off from the main path. They're easy and accessible for most people, with gentle terrain and plenty of spots to stop and enjoy the scenery. Even though the trails are simple, you should still bring a bottle of water. I noticed a lot of people wandering off onto nearby trails without anything to drink. I was out on the trails for an hour, and even though the temps were in the 70's, I still was glad I brought water.

Furthermore, our good friends Alvin and Charlie run the nearby Magnetic Springs Resort. (Hey, it's a gay friendly, clothing optional place. Great for what it is but probably not a prime choice for heterosexual Southern Baptist types who are in town for a weekend of Bible study and Trump worship.) You really need to stop by these historic springs if you're in the Eureka Springs area -- lots of doctors and artists (and temperance advocate Carrie Nation!) lived in this area a hundred and twenty years ago. Lots of nearby bars and restaurants, as well as shops and galleries. (This is just around the bend from Main Street, for Pete's sake.)

There are also so many trees! I absolutely love it! It was a bit overcast today so it was nice and cool but even on a hot day the trees will provide shade. There's also a wonderful aroma of honeysuckle wafting through the park and it was fun to show the kids how to get the sweet nectar from it. It only got 4 stars because there are no bathrooms! There is a Kum and go .4 mi away but that's still pretty inconvenient. Right now it looks like there is only street parking and there is one open parking spot and one handicapped spot open. There's another parking lot on the car side but it is blocked off because of all the construction. So, make sure the kiddos all go to the bathroom before you head out and you'll have a great time!
