Richland Creek is gorgeous, spanning 30 miles northeast to its confluence with the Buffalo River. The clear water flows over smooth boulders, surrounded by steep, forested slopes, creating a stunning landscape. As you walk along, the OHT hugs the creek, where you'll find plenty of spots to pitch your tent. There is a turquoise swimming hole to the right of the crossing, perfect for a dip on a warm day, and the scenery here makes you want to take a moment to appreciate everything around you. When the cooler months arrive, sunlight filters through the bare trees, and the rush of the water can be heard from quite a distance. It's a perfect spot for an overnight, or simply a spot for a break to relax and enjoy nature.
