The trailhead is slightly tucked away by some tree branches, across the street is a gravel parking areas that would fit two cars. Parking at Ozark Outdoors is $9/day. Very friendly and they'll direct you to the trailhead. Trail is narrow with a lot of overgrowth. Plenty of long stretches through the wooden areas, you'll take old forest roads frequently. Be aware for "OT" signs and follow them (if you come across a fork and see an "OT" sign, follow in the direction the "O" is direction). This was challenging hike, plenty of ups and downs - pack plenty of water and bug spray. With frequent water/bathroom breaks and about 30 minutes spent cooling off at the crosspoint, this took us about 6-7 hours to complete. The stream was flowing faster than usual and we kept a pace, the canoe trip back we did in under 4 hours.

This was a very easy trail. You take a very long road back to where the trail starts, but if you don’t have an all-terrain vehicle, you will need to walk about a mile to the trailhead. It is very, very bumpy so just leave your car at the dirt lot and you will be all right. The trail itself to the destination is quite easy and absolutely worth it. I hope to go back very soon and camp.

This hike is indeed quite easy! The arch shown here is very, very difficult to find. The instruction are not correct.
