Bear Hollow Natural Area, Madison County, includes a mile of the intermittent Bear Hollow Creek, beginning about 0.25-mile upstream from its confluence with Rockhouse Creek. The natural area is enclosed by ridges along most of its perimeter, with only one hilltop farm in prominent view. Located near the center of the site is the Ozark Natural Science Center. This center was established in 1990 to provide environmental education opportunities for the people of the Ozark Mountains region. The natural area is bounded on the north and south by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s (AGFC) Madison County Wildlife Management Area and on the east and west by private land. There are 7.5 miles of primitive trail at this natural area, but access is controlled by the Ozark Natural Science Center.
Hunting is prohibited on this natural area.
