Trail Overview

This is a fun little trail that leads to big scenery at the top of Eagle Mountain in the Quachita National Forest. The trail consists of rocks and loose gravel and climbs about 800 feet in elevation. The trail is fairly easy for any 4x4 with a little ground clearance but is doable in any stock SUV or pickup.

Status Reports

This trail was much tougher than the description led me to believe. Absolutely need 4lo with good ground clearance. Two wheel drive would not make it here. Several rocky inclines with areas you could scrap if you aren't careful. It rained heavily the day before so slick rock made it more difficult but fun. View at the top is excellent. Just a FYI there isn't an observation tower at the top, its three cell towers with a shack next to each one.
