We made our first trip to Liles Falls back in 2011. It's a great area that easily accessible from the Erbie Campground Road -- or along the Buffalo River Trail between Erbie and Ozark.
This falls is in a small drainage -- so it takes quite a bit of rain to get if flowing well. And even then, for only a short amount of time.
We've been back a few different times only to be somewhat disappointed by the flow. But for several days around New Years Day we had several days of hard, steady rain and we thought we'd go check it out. And this time we weren't disappointed.
In addition to some nice flow in the falls, just as we got to the falls it started snowing. The snow created an amazing snow globe effect that just enhanced the feeling of being at this wonderful area.
We spent a fair amount of time at both the Upper and Lower Falls -- even while it was snowing and cold soaking this beautiful area. We were probably a day late to catch the really good water but overall it was an amazing day.
You can find trail directions on the original post.
There are a lot of other neat things in this area worth checking out - -including the Koen Interpretive Trail, Cherry Grove Cemetery Loop, the Ponds Loop and the Buffalo River Trail from Erbie to Ozark.
