Lost Valley
Ponca AR

Here is a 200 foot long cave terminating in a stately underground room featuring a gushing, 35-foot waterfall. Like something out of a storybook but very real. A 1.7 mile trail (the first mile of which is fairly level and easy to negotiate but it does get a little steep toward the end) provides good access from the Lost Valley Campground on Hwy-43. 

From I-40, take the AR Hwy-7 (exit 81 at Russellville) and head north on 7 to Jasper and the junction of Hwy-74. Turn left (west) and follow 74 to Ponca. At Ponca, turn left on Hwy-43. The Lost Valley Campground will be on your left between Ponca and Boxley.

From Harrison, head north on US-65/412 to the junction of Arkansas Hwy-43. Turn left (south) and follow 43, through Compton and Ponca, to Lost Valley Campground on your left.
