Big Creek Loop:
From the parking area, the trail follows an old road for a short distance before turning right (look for blue trail blazes) and heading down to Big Creek. After leaving the creek, it’s only a short distance up to the Big Creek Loop/Overlook Trail intersection. From here, either head back to the parking area or extend the hike another mile and enjoy the beauty of the Overlook Trail.
Overlook Trail:
This loop begins at the parking lot, but turns east along an upland area. The trail follows the bluffs along the creek and is 1.75 miles long. There are some awesome views from overlooks along the creek and unprotected bluffs over vast upland forests.

Bridal Veil Falls Road
Heber Springs, Arkansas
Downstream from the dam, this trail meanders along a bluff overlooking the Little Red River and fish hatchery. The trail is mostly level, except at each end, where mossy bluffs are crossed by flights of stairs. The trail provides excellent views from an overlook shelter of the Greers Ferry dam and lake, in addition to the river valley.
The Buckeye Trail was constructed in conjunction with the Mossy Bluff Trail to provide a quality trail experience for persons who are not physically able to negotiate the more difficult areas. Displays are provided alongside these trails for interpretation of interesting natural features.

Heber Springs, AR 72543
This beautiful trail follows along a wooded bluff overlooking the Little Red River below Greers Ferry Dam. Different points of interest such as two different trees that have grown together as one, lichens role in “primary succession”, a balanced rock caused by the process of “weathering”, and many other occurrences in nature can be seen on the trail.
At the end of the trail are 96 steps leading up to a spectacular overlook above the Little Red River and the Greers Ferry National Fish Hatchery. This is an excellent place to rest and enjoy the view before your walk back to the Visitor Center! Pet Friendly.
