Glory Hole Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Ozark National Forest, Arkansas
The Glory Hole Waterfall flows through a circular opening in a rock formation, dropping 30 feet into a grotto beneath the natural stone bridge.
The waterfall in Newton County became known to travelers after local hunters discovered the natural formation while exploring the Ozark National Forest trails.
Local photographers gather at Glory Hole during winter months to capture images of frozen water cascades forming natural ice sculptures through the rock opening.
The trail to Glory Hole extends one mile from Highway 16, with parking available at an unmarked gravel area near a red barn with letter E.
The water stream creates a perfect circular cascade as it falls through the eroded limestone, forming a natural bridge above the grotto chamber.
