Cedar Flats is a swimming hole located near West Fork, Arkansas and just outside of Devils Den State Park. This swimming hole is easily accessible with several camping areas available in the area.
Ceder Flats has large rock shelves that make for beautiful views and great spots to hang out and enjoy the view. Ceder Flats is spring fed, keeping the water cool and clear year round. This is a wonderful place to visit from late spring to early fall, when it is warm enough to take advantage of the cool water. The depth of the water varies throughout the year, and can be shallow. Swimmers should check depth for safety before swimming. There is an old rope swing located above the swimming hole. Swimmers swim here at their own risk, and should use caution when swimming and swinging.
This swimming hole is easy to access, only being a few minutes from town and from Devil's Den State park, making it the perfect addition to any day of recreation.
