About Cedar Flats
Cedar Flats offers a refreshing cold spring experience just outside Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas. This primitive swimming hole stands out for its clear, cool water and natural rock shelves that invite you to perch or dive in. A rope swing adds a playful touch, making it an enjoyable spot for those seeking a quiet, natural retreat among Arkansas swimming holes.
Getting There
You reach Cedar Flats with ease, requiring only a short two-minute walk from ample parking. The drive-up access means no strenuous hiking, making it accessible while still feeling tucked away from the busier areas of the state park.
What to Expect
The water level can fluctuate, especially in late summer, but the cool, clear stream provides a crisp escape from the heat. The peaceful surroundings host few visitors, allowing you to soak in the tranquil atmosphere. Facilities are minimal here, so anticipate a truly natural setting with no developed amenities.
Tips for Visitors
Visit during the summer when the water is most inviting, and bring your own refreshments and shade solutions since there are no services onsite. Since the spring is free and rarely crowded, it’s a quiet spot, but respect the primitive environment by packing out all trash. Wear water shoes to navigate the rocky shore and enjoy the rope swing carefully.
