Natural Falls State Park is a 120-acre park on the border of Oklahoma and Arkansas in Colcord, Oklahoma. The park is filled with stunning views but the centerpiece is the large waterfall.

Natural Falls is considered the second tallest in the state and cascades over rock formations, creating a stunning atmosphere at the end of a V-shaped valley.

Another trail in the park, Bear Trail, is also 1/2 mile each way, and leads visitors from the campground site to the falls. It is rated a moderate to strenuous trail, due to a few steep and rocky inclines.
