Trail Overview

This off-road trail winds through a dense forest, revealing a narrow track that shows signs of limited upkeep, particularly through overgrowth and numerous muddy, rock-bottomed holes often present during April. Several off-camber stretches and areas of water damage add challenges, alongside a few moderately steep ascents and descents, though none are overly difficult. Dispersed campsites are available in a few spots, but amenities such as trash disposal and water supply are absent, and cell coverage remains limited for much of the route.

History

The Ouachita National Forest was established in 1907, making it the oldest national forest in the South. Long before that, Native American tribes like the Caddo and Choctaw lived and traveled through these mountains. In the late 1800s, settlers arrived for logging and mining, but concerns about preserving the land led to federal protection. Today, the forest covers over 1.8 million acres across Arkansas and Oklahoma. With its rugged ridges, clear streams, and diverse wildlife, the Ouachita remains a place where nature and history meet--and every trail tells part of the story.
