Description
Trail head is at the Southern end of the park in a culdesac with parking. All three park trails start and end there. Falls Branch leads up Little Canyon Creek via a series of foot bridges and stone stairs that switchback up the canyon. The trail then goes up on a ridge that overlooks the Little Canyon Creek with several stone outcrops to look off of. The trail takes you to the other side of the ridge overlooking Falls Creek. The trail is one person wide and follows the creek on the west side down a series of stone stairs to a series of waterfalls. The trail leads back to Lake Catherine and accross a cable bridge then back to the trail head. I would call the trail rugged and a great 2 miler.

Directions to Hike
Little Rock, AR go South on I-30 to exit 97. Go West 1 mile and go North on 171. 171 goes directly into Lake Catherine State Park
