Description

Like many of the natural springs in the area (such as those in nearby Eureka Springs), the Native Americans considered the waters of Hogscald to be sacred peace grounds, where even neighboring tribes could visit and partake of the cold, clear waters without resistence. Ancient ceremonies of health and healing were often held in the natural bluff shelter beneath Auger Falls. It is said that the Hogscald area first gained the attention of American settlers from Kentucky and Tennessee in the 1830's. It has since played host to soldiers from both sides of the Civil War, served as an awe-inspiring outdoor church, community butchering ground, campground, inspiration for Ozark writers and artists, and even as a lake-front refuge for skinny-dipping hippies.
