Melissa rests on the way in.
If I climb down there...Can I get back out?!

Melissa at the base of the waterfallHideout Hollow trail is a short two mile trail near Compton in Newton County. The area under this bluff is huge. You can see that Melissa is just a speck in the third photo. The waterfall was barely running. Arkansas Waterfalls are best photographed from late November through the spring. The trees are dormant during the winter months and don't soak up much water. During the spring, the amount of rainfall we get more than compensates for what the trees use. The trail actually comes in on top of the bluff above. You have to climb down to the hollow and the base of the fall.
