 The Arkansas Waterfall Guidebook includes info for each waterfall that includes a COLOR photo, map, description information about how to get to the trailhead or parking spot, walking description of how to get to the falls from the trailhead, and GPS info (Lat/Lon and/or UTM). The waterfalls are rated in several different ways, including difficulty of getting to, and an ACCURATE height measurement are listed. Some falls you will be able to drive right up to. Others will require a short, easy hike to get to. Many will be several miles down a maintained trail. Still others will be true "wilderness" waterfalls that don't have trails of any kind to them, and will require serious cross-country bushwhacking skills to locate (detailed directions and GPS info in the guidebook will help a LOT, but will still require a difficult bushwhack to get to). There are discussions about when the best time to go waterfall viewing is (and when NOT to find waterfalls!), plus info about waterfall photography, hiking safety, and a number of other general topics. This book is perfect for beginners, or for the seasoned waterfall hunter who can smell one a mile away!

You can view photos of many of these waterfalls in the pages of the Cloudland Cabin Journal at Current Journal. Check Jan-June 2001 and Dec. 2001 as well as Jan-April 2002, and April-June 2011.
