Cedar-Falls
is located in Petit Jean State Park in central Arkansas. Petit Jean State Park is Arkansas' first state park, and in addition to Cedar Falls, contains sheer granite rock bluffs, lush woodlands and wildflowers, rivers and creeks and abundant wildlife. Other attractions in Petit Jean State Park include Cedar Creek Canyon and the Seven Hollows, Bear Cave and rock formations like the Grotto and Natural Bridge, Turtle Rocks and Carpet Rocks. The hike to Cedar Falls, inside the state park, is one of the most popular and attracts many visitors who wish to make the trek to see the spectacular woodland falls. The hike is about two miles and takes approximately two hours as it descends into Cedar Creek Canyon. This hike is for those who are more experienced hikers and people in good physical condition. Petit Jean Mountain, for which the park was named, gets its name from the legend of Petit Jean, a French girl who disguised herself as a boy and secretly accompanied her sweetheart, an early explorer, to America and to this very mountain. Petit Jean State Park also offers several special events throughout the year, ranging from Mountain Man Rendezvous and Wildflower Weekend, to a swap meet and auto show.
