About this spot
Mountain Fork Creek Falls is a small (roughly 13 ft) waterfall in the Mountain Fork Creek drainage of Ozark National Forest, one of three named falls (with Spirit Mt. Falls and Sixty Foot Falls) reached from Mulberry Mountain Lodge or via a harder bushwhack off Highway 23. The Mulberry Mountain side requires a day-use pass and trail map from the lodge office. Documentation is thin, limited mainly to regional waterfall guides and a photographer's site; no swimming or jump culture is reported.
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.
