Hawksbill Crag/Whittaker Point - 3.0 miles round trip Hawksbill Crag is one of the most recognized spots in Arkansas because photos of it have been used in many publications about the state and the Ozark Mountains. It is an amazing rock outcrop that sticks out from a tall bluff located in the Upper Buffalo Wilderness Area. To get to the trailhead, head south on Hwy 21 and turn right onto County Road 5, Cave Mountain Road, 1.2 miles past the junction of Hwy 21 & 43. The parking lot is on the right .6 of a mile past the Cave Mountain Church and cemetery. From the parking lot, the trail begins across the road, goes into the woods and drops down the hill to a small stream. After it crosses the stream again, you will notice that the trail runs along private property which is marked with blue and red blazes - do not cross over. There are many science spots along the way but the most spectacular is Hawksbill Crag itself, one of the most major scenic spots in Arkansas.

Hawksbill Crag (Moderate) 46 miles away. In & Out 3 mile trail that leads to a rock formation that juts out from the bluff's face. It overlooks Whitaker Creek and a huge valley. During the rainy season(Spring and Fall) you can discover a number of waterfalls.
