Pam’s Grotto offers a magical place to cool off

Discover a hidden treasure just a short hike into Ozark National Forest. A half-mile hike takes you to Pam’s Grotto, a 37-foot waterfall where you can climb, explore, and even cool off in the summer.

As you approach the grotto, you’ll hear the water falling in the ravine with large boulders on either side. Although the trek is short, there is some climbing required as you go over rocks to get to the opening.

Cool off splashing in the pool. If you’re brave, try standing beneath the waterfall. Inside, explore the cave and a rarely seen view of a waterfall.
