Richland Creek

I followed Falling Water Road all the way to the campground at Richland Creek, which easily takes the claim as one of the most scenic little streams in the Ozarks. It's even been designated as a National Wild and Scenic River by the federal government.

The campground sits on the edge of the Richland Creek Wilderness, which contains over 11,000 acres of land that is permanently prohibited from logging, mining and vehicles.

At the campground you can also find the spot where Falling Water Creek flows into Richland Creek:

Next to the creek was this small set of stairs, which heads up to the campsites.

After leaving the campground, I had to stop the car for again for a few shots from along the dirt road (which is a lot of fun to drive down):
