Eden Falls is a waterfall in Newton County, Arkansas. It drops roughly 174 feet. Access details and conditions have not yet been verified in person by Fallspots — the data on this page comes from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.

Eden Falls sits in Newton County, Arkansas. The base sits at roughly 1,538 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 2 minutes from Ponca. OpenStreetMap shows a trail within 10 meters of the marked location, though the name isn't recorded. No public parking is recorded within 2 km, so a longer approach is likely. It draws modest visitor attention — busier weekends, quiet weekdays. Source records come from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.

Is the water flowing right now?

Most waterfall sites don't tell you this. The waterfall itself is almost never gauged, but a USGS streamgage in the same watershed can tell you whether snowmelt has started, peaked, or run dry.
