Where the Waterfalls Are

Perryville sits in or near the Arkansas River Valley and Ouachita Edge area of Arkansas. Between the Ozarks and the Ouachitas, the Arkansas River valley is interrupted by isolated mesas and ridges. The best known is Petit Jean Mountain in Conway County, where Cedar Falls drops into a sandstone box canyon below Petit Jean State Park. The trail to the base climbs steeply on the return, and an overlook offers a view from above for those who prefer not to make the descent. To the south, Perry County reaches into the northern edge of the Ouachita Mountains, whose east-west ridges hold smaller seasonal drops such as Sausmann Falls. Read the Arkansas waterfall guide.
