The bluff called Hemmed in Hollow is massive! I think it’s the most impressive geological part of the Ozarks, it’s just so challenging to get to that most people go to Whitaker’s Point instead. Anyways, it’s staggering how big it is once you arrive and look up. The waterfall comes down to a pool area that must be awesome when it’s full. Go a week after heavy rains because it would be awesome with water but the 1.5 hour trail hike is very tough and I wouldn’t do it if it were still muddy.

Pretty excellent hike. Off of 43 there’s a sign that said Compton trail head with an arrow pointing right. Turn onto that dirt road and go down until it gives you the option to go straight or turn left or right. Turn right and go down that dirt road. You will see a sign for Compton trail head. Park in there and go out for your hike. Definitely worth it. It was a steep trail after about the first .5 miles. Going down was a bit tough on the knees, but the falls were worth it. Just drops really at this time of year, but impressive nonetheless. Definitely bring a snack and plenty of water. Spend time taking photos once you get down. Also, hike the unkept trail at the falls. It will bring you behind the falls and over to diamond falls, which is a hidden gem of a water falls.
