💦 Cold, clear water with a story to tell!

Lafferty Creek Dam, tucked away near Mount Pleasant, was built in 1889 by Civil War veteran Captain Ransom Wells Luther to power a gristmill. The creek is fed by springs in the cave-filled limestone hills of the Lafferty area, helping keep the water wonderfully cool—even on a hot Arkansas summer day! 🥶🌿

The old mill may be gone, but the historic stone dam and beautiful blue-green swimming hole remain as reminders of the area’s Ozark heritage.

📍 Lafferty Creek Dam | Izard County
Leave No Trace—pack out everything you bring so we can keep this special place looking beautiful! 💚
