Waterfalls are magical places for Scott and me. There is something about the sound of the rushing water leading to it crashing down below. In the spray, we find rainbows which always bring a smile to our faces. We decided in 2020 we would “collect” twenty water features that fit into the “waterfall” category. We took the year and found eleven waterfalls, one Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) dams, one Work Projects Administration (WPA) dam, six spillways, and one cascade. We did not have any criteria as to what to look for, we just tailored our travel plans to finding water features. It may not sound surprising or magical, but where we found the waterfalls blew us away.
We started to write about this project before and, honestly, got distracted by everything that was going on in our lives. You can read the first article (waterfalls 1-4) CLICK HERE.

Many people have a vacation spot they visit over and over like skiing at Monarch every winter, camping and fishing at Beaver Dam State Parkevery summer, or fall foliage watching along the Blue Ridge Drive. For us it was stopping in Bella Vista, Arkansas, to visit Tanyard Creek Nature Trails any time we were in Northwest Arkansas. Here we would wade in the creek in the summer, view the turning of the leaves in the fall, and sit peacefully listening to nature.
Tanyard Creek Nature Trails is a series of nature trails built by volunteers and financed by private donor money so people can enjoy the outdoors. There are many trails that loop around the area with a suspension bridge and many boardwalk-style bridges. You will also find a waterfall near the Winsor Lake Dam. This is yet another spillway with a beautiful example of downcutting.
We have been able to take one of the GrandGeorges to this waterfall and she was thrilled when she and I walked behind the waterfall. I am sure if we were still close by, we would be taking the others to enjoy the same experience.
