Kirby (AR) Waterfalls
Little Missouri Falls
Little Missouri Falls Recreation Area

This 0.5 mile, out-and-back trail is mostly 'easy' with a few steep grades. Beginning in the Little Missouri Falls Recreation Area, the trail first crosses a native stone dam across the Little Missouri River. The trail then ascends a series of steep steps to the edge of the cliffs overlooking the river. From here you have a great view of the area above the falls. Here, the trail is following the old wagon trail used by the early settlers en route from Langley to Big Fork. A little further, a grand view of Little Missouri Falls comes into view.
Note: Trail Map available from Cado Ranger District (see below).

The Little Missouri Falls Recreation Area is a 'Day Use Area' (no camping permitted). Five picnic tables, drinking water and a vault toilet are available. No fee is charged.

Camping is available at several nearby locations including the Albert Pike Recreational Area and Daisy State Park - located on the northern end of Lake Greeson just off US Highway 70 near the town of Daisy (6 miles west of Kirby on US-70).
