There's a waterfall that's either a short walk or a longer (2-3 hours) in Hampton, and Greene county has quite a few wilderness spots one can waste a few days frolicking about.
I used to enjoy driving to whatever mountain is accessed at Horse Creek, to play with 4wd. I don’t think the path is maintained anymore but it’s still a great place to hang out in nature.
