Easy NWA family hike 🏔️

Shaddox hollow is in Hobbs state park & is a great family hike!

It’s under 2 miles, pretty shaded, & not far from downtown Rogers, AR! Watch for ticks & snakes as usual though! I did it with our 20 pound baby on my back 😅

Shaddox Hollow Trailhead

2023/5/20 Edited to

Hiking is a fantastic way to spend quality time with family and connect with nature. Shaddox Hollow offers an easy trail that is not only accessible but also provides a great introduction to the beautiful landscapes of Northwest Arkansas. The hike being under 2 miles makes it perfect for families with young children or those looking for a quick outdoor escape. Hobbs State Park is known for its lush greenery and diverse wildlife; you might spot various bird species or even hear the rustling of foxes in the distance. As always, it’s essential to be aware of your surroundings. Keep an eye out for ticks and snakes, especially in warmer weather. The trail's shaded areas are perfect for a comfortable hike during hot summer days, making it a popular choice among local families. Don't forget to bring plenty of water, snacks, and sunscreen for a fun, safe adventure! Additionally, let others know about this great spot by sharing your experience on social media, as it helps promote awareness of such beautiful trails for future hiking enthusiasts. Happy hiking!

Four people sit on the rocky bank, backs to the camera, admiring the cascading Mossbrae Falls in Northern California. The lush green waterfall creates a 'Hidden Oasis' as water splashes into the clear pool below.

An aerial view shows a winding river flowing through a dense green forest under a clear blue sky. Text overlays provide directions to Mossbrae Falls: 'Take hedge creek trail then cross the river. There is parking right across from the trail!'

Four individuals walk along active railroad tracks through a forested area, with steep, rocky terrain on the right. Text warns to 'Follow the railroad tracks but watch out for trains!' and to 'get off the tracks if you hear one!'

A Hidden Oasis✨

💙 Mossbrae Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfall hikes you can do in Northern California ! This hike is located near Mount Shasta ! 💙When beginning the hike you can park in the parking lot across from the Hedge Creek trail. You will then follow this trail until you reach the river!
