Old River Trail, Compton to Ponca (September, 2002)

 
Once at the falls, though, the whole trip is worth it.  Hemmed-In Hollow is a very beautiful place.  It is a very narrow hollow with a pretty stream running through it. 

The Hemmed-In Falls area is a really neat place too.  The photo depicts the "bowl" at the base of the falls that has been carved out over time by water making the 211 foot drop that makes the falls.

On the day we were there it had been weeks since a good rain and the falls were barely flowing.  However it didn't stop Kate from enjoying her first opportunity to play in the water.  Check it out here.
