🌿 About Leatherwood Creek

Leatherwood Creek flows through one of the most scenic and historically rich areas of the Arkansas Ozarks. The creek gets its name from the leatherwood shrub (Dirca palustris), a flexible-branched plant that once grew abundantly along the moist hollows of the valley. Early settlers used its strong, pliable bark for rope, basket binding, and even tool lashings — giving the creek its distinctive name.

Throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s, small homesteads and farms dotted the high benches and hollows near today’s Ponca and Boxley Valley. Families relied on creeks like Leatherwood for drinking water, livestock, and small hand-built mills that operated seasonally when flow was strongest. The valley around the Buffalo was isolated, rugged, and beautiful — and Leatherwood Creek remains one of the places where that older Ozarks character still feels untouched.

Today the creek flows freely within the Buffalo National River, the first river in the United States to receive National River status in 1972. Thanks to this protection, tributaries like Leatherwood Creek have remained wild and undeveloped, offering a rare look at a landscape that has changed very little in more than a century. The cascades, falls, and narrow gorges carved into sandstone and limestone cliffs are shaped by millions of years of erosion, rainfall, and seasonal springs.

This video was filmed in one of the creek’s quietest sections — capturing the subtle movement of water over stone, the echo of the forest, and the natural rhythm that defines the Ozarks.
