Frozen In Time: Beauty Of Frozen Waterfalls In Arkansas

January 2025 blew in like a blizzard (no pun intended) and Arkansans are getting their first taste of bitterly cold temperatures this week. We could even experience some snow later in the week. Many who travel the natural state know Arkansas is home to over 200 cascading waterfalls year-round  What happens to those waterfalls when they freeze is just short of mind-blowing.

This normally happens when the temperatures reach sub-freezing levels during the harsh winter months. Seeing a waterfall in its frozen state is not only spectacular but mesmerizing its like being frozen in time.

In 2021, YouTuber Trove1 went on an adventure of a lifetime with his family through some of Arkansas' rugged forest wilderness hiking to some of the state's biggest and best waterfalls, what he saw was captivating.

Glory Hole Waterfall

During the summer, Glory Hole Waterfalls is one of the most stunning waterfalls you will ever see as it flows freely through an open hole on the mountainside in the Ozarks. Seeing it frozen brings it to a whole new level.

Eden Falls

Another one of Arkansas' beautiful waterfalls is Eden Falls, near the Buffalo National Forest River at the base of a box canyon. The frozen waterfall resembles spikes as it tumbles over the rocky mountainside.

Falling Waters

The Ozark Mountain wilderness has various waterfalls throughout the region but Falling Waters in the Richland Creek Wilderness Area is one to see even in the cold harsh winter months.

When it comes to winter weather in Arkansas, Mother Nature is quite the artist because you will never know what you will see. Just be careful, if you go hiking in the winter because rocks can be slick and dangerous.
