Jun 18, 2018 — This incredibly beautiful hike up Indian Creek begins from Kyle's Landing, following a series of trails in order to enter the creekbed. A use trail alternates on the banks of Indian Creek, and sometimes goes directly along the creek, passing obstacles, interesting water-sculpted rock, and mini waterfalls. Eventually, you make it to Arkansas Cave (closed for bats), and a waterfall just near it. This is not Eye of the Needle Falls. You'll notice some ropes hanging on the west side, which aren't necessary, but nice if you're not fond of Class 3. These ropes lead up to a small tunnel, which leads above the lower falls. Follow Indian Creek a bit longer to reach Eye of the Needle Falls, absolutely incredible. This falls is not like anything I've seen out east. Unfortunately, there was no water on my visit, so I'll be coming back at some point, but even without water, this is really a great hike through a lush canyon.
You can find a social trail leading above Eye of the Needle Falls, which continues even farther and apparently leads up to the road (Rt 74), but I lost the trail eventually, and the interesting stuff had faded out, so I turned back.
