Tanyard Creek Falls is a beautiful hike to a picturesque waterfall. The Falls is located on Tanyard Creek Nature Trail in Bella Vista, Arkansas. The land is private, but the owners have opened it up for free access to the public. At the trailhead there is a large parking lot, giving visitors plenty of space to park.

Tanyard Creek Nature Trail is an easy two-mile loop that is hike-able by people of every experience level. This nature trail is the perfect escape right in the middle of a busy suburb. The trail follows a beautiful creek through the forest up to the waterfall. The waterfall is cascading over several levels of mossy rocks, creating a stunning spray of water. Several levels of pools gather beneath the falls, creating perfect spaces to splash and wade in the water. The water is cool and clean. The rocks and pools should be approached with caution, as rocks can be slippery and water can be unsafe in areas.
