Horsetail & Fuzzy Butt

Published on 17 March 2024 at 00:15

Fuzzy Butt Falls is a fairly easy hike (the two horsetail falls are a little more challenging). We started our hike at the bridge that crosses Falling Water Creek (35.75283, -92.93837). The trailhead is right off the side of the road (35.75287, -92.93888) and is a pretty easy and well defined trail. We followed the trail till we got to the creek that Lower/Upper Horsetail Falls are on (35.75693, -92.93868). Stay to the left of the creek and go upstream, this part of the hike is the more challenging part. We of course came to Lower Horsetail Falls first (35.75251, -92.93717). Getting to the bottom is a little tricky, if you follow the creek bed there is a large bolder that you will have to get around. Or you can stay to the left a little bit and go down to the bottom on the other side of the bolder. Once done enjoying Lower Horsetail Falls we continued to climb the hill upstream to reach Upper Horsetail Falls (35.75654, -92.94227). Once done enjoying Upper Horsetail Falls we headed back down to the main trail that goes to Fussy Butt Falls. When we got back down to the bottom we crossed the creek. If you go downstream just a little there is a better place to cross the creek. Once the creek is crossed we continued to follow the trail till we reach the creek that Fussy Butt Falls is on. We went upstream into the opening for Fuzzy Butt Falls (35.76318, -92.93748). Just a few feet and you will arrive a Fuzzy Butt Falls (35.76361, -92.93824). As we started back there is a side trail (35.76302, -92.93742), that we did not take this trip. It will take you to west side of Six Fingers Falls, it gives you another view of the falls from a different angle. Once back on the main trail as you are headed back there is another spot that you can go back down to the creek (35.75779, -92.93821) to get a great view from the west side of Intersection Falls (35.75821, -92.93647). I have put two links below for two different GAIA tracks. Our most recent one where we did not go to Six Finger Falls and Intersection Falls. The other is a previous GAIA track where we did. Map my fitness has the total hike at 2.65 miles and GAIA has it at 2.30 miles.
