Trail Overview

To eliminate confusion about the trail name, Road 58 is a road that is in several areas of the national forest. It changes names, but if you just continue down this route and follow all the Road 58 signs, it goes on for quite a while. It's an easy gravel road that leads to one of the most majestic and scenic camping spots in the Ozark National Forest. There is a marked trail that has a gate. I talked to the son of the property owner, and he said if anyone wanted access to that road, they had to talk with "Pa". Great people out in these areas, everyone waves at you while you're driving down the road. One of the attractions on this road is a side route, Big Bee Ridge, which is a 4x4 playground. Lots of primitive campsites with no running water or bathrooms. Lots of white oak and pine trees. The spring is turkey season, so do be mindful to have an orange collar or vest on your furry friends. Cell service is attainable in certain areas, but it isn't that great. If you don't already know, Arkansas is very humid and hot, which means more bugs and snakes during the summertime, so the national forests are better spent enjoying them during the spring, fall, and winter months.

Difficulty

Unless you are taking FSR 1432 to Devil's Knob, or Big Bee Ridge, Road 58 is an easy gravel road. There are steep drop-offs, and it is mostly a one-lane road with some pull-out areas.

Gorgeous winding road with access to the Ozark Highlands Trail as well as some other cool spots. Multiple camping areas you can pull off to. If you decide to hike to Bear Skull Falls, I recommend taking the Ozark Highlands Trail to it, but you can walk / hike / drive the 94319A/B road to also get pretty close and then bushwack the final little way down the hill. It was fully dry when we went so you can see the slate falls and explore the rocks easily. Highly recommend. We saw some bear tracks on the road as well so be aware.
