Jackson Falls
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Awesome area to explore, the hiking trails aren't too well marked but if you have common sense you should be able to follow them. Best time to arrive is early spring after rain to see the falls flowing. During the week these trails are not busy in the slightest.

Dixon Springs State Park
State park
πŸ‘ Yes, the campground has pit toilets. If you can handle those, it's a great place to relax and observe nature. We saw an owl hunting at dusk, three deer wandering in the morning, weird moths. There's a swimming pool open in the summer daytime hours and the bathrooms near there have running water. The...

πŸ‘ My husband and I went on Memorial Day. This is a nice little diner. They were very busy. The food came in a timely manner, the waitress was running the whole place and did fantastic! The food was good and very reasonable in price. The only reason I gave the food 4 stars was due to the mashed potatoe...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Ordered dinner for my family during our stay in Golconda. Didn’t realize the place was cash only until I arrived with only a credit card and not enough cash to cover the meal. The staff was extremely courteous and friendly and a guy at the bar paid for the short tab so my family could have their d...

Millstone Bluff Archaeological Area
Historical landmark
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Definitely one of my favorite places to go. Place is pretty well kept. If you know what you're looking for you will see Native American writings/drawings, shelter, places of worship, petroglyphs and petraglyphs. This place has more than most even know about. Even the locals are being shown new disc...

Sand Cave - Underground Railroad National Historic Site
Historical landmark
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Google will take you to the end of the gravel road. I parked on the side of the road and took the mud trail in. The trail is in bad condition, as if someone has been driving and ATV racing on it. Keep going and eventually you will find some 1980s era signage that marks the start of a foot trail alo...
