Jackson Hollow
Description: Jackson Hollow is more popular for its rock climbing and bouldering opportunities than it is for hiking. The unmarked area is tucked away southeast of Ozark in Pope County with no signs directing what little traffic come in search for it. Once you find the parking area, finding the user-made trails are no problem. An impressive waterfall at the head of a canyon that stretches west is only a few feet from the parking area.
Trails: The trail from the parking area goes a short distance to Jackson Falls at the head of the canyon. From there, trails continue along the bluffs on both sides and eventually down into the canyon. Once in the canyon it is easy to become disoriented, since the user trails no longer well-defined. If you keep the bluffs at your side, you should not get lost, but a topographical map is recommended for exploration here.
Directions: From Golconda take the Scenic Byway Route Bay City Road south 6 miles to Clanahan Hill Road. Turn right and continue for 3.6 miles to Rosebud Rd. Turn right on Rosebud Road and then turn right on Pope County Road and drive to the parking area on the right side of the road.
