About this spot
Artist Point Falls drops about 40 feet in a series of cascades off US-71 near Mountainburg, behind the historic Artist Point store. The trail down is roughly 0.6 miles one-way but very steep, losing about 350 feet of elevation, and rain-dependent for flow. No swimming or jumping culture is documented here; it's primarily a photography and scenic-overlook stop, and the climb back out is the main hazard.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
