Collins Creek Trailhead — Attraction in Heber Springs

Our family went to Collins creek trailhead mid July 2022. There hadn't been any rain for awhile. Everything was extremely dry, very hot, and there was no water flowing over the dam. It was impressive, but a little disappointing. Just a little further down the road was a small area of falls.

The location is about 10-15 minutes from the lakes where the Trumpeter Swans winter, and from Sugarloaf Mountain, and from Bridal Veil Falls. The area is beautiful in the winter. We plan to go back in the...
