High Bank Twin Falls

High Bank Twin Falls – Arkansas

High Bank Twin Falls
Description: High Bank Twin Falls is a spectacular 70′ high double waterfall located in the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas.
Cost:	There is no fee for this area.
Best Time to Visit:	As with most waterfalls in Arkansas, High Bank Twin Falls really only flows with a lot of water after heavy rainfall. The best time to get great photos is in the spring when the ground is saturated and right after a good rain.
Where it is:	High Bank Twin Falls is located very close to the road but very well hidden. This is one of those places where you have to know where it is to find it. The falls are located in the Ozark National Forest, just across the road from High Bank Canoe Access on the Mulberry River.
Directions:	From I-40 take state highway 23 North through Cass turning right onto state highway 215 and follow it for 9.2 miles. You will be at High Bank Canoe Access on the right side of the road and can park in the parking area. Walk back out to the highway turn right, walk across the bridge and look for the unmarked but well traveled trail to your left. Follow the trail approximately 1/4 mile to the waterfall.

Tips for the Photographer
Equipment:	You will want to have as wide of angle lens as you can, since the waterfall is about 70 feet tall and you can not get back very far from it to shoot. A tripod is needed to make the long exposures used for capturing the smooth flow of the water.
What to Photograph:	The twin waterfalls are the main photographic subject, however this is a good area for doing some macro work. There are many varieties of moss and lichen, mushrooms, and other plant life as well as insects to photograph. The steam can be a great subject as it flows over many small cascades.
Photography Tips:	Use a tripod and shoot with a slow shutter speed, 1/2 to 2 seconds to get a nice silky flow of the water.

Caution:	Be careful when photographing waterfalls, the rocks and ground around them will be wet and can be very slick.
