Trail Overview

This route takes you into the Wainscott bottoms of Big Piney Creek. The trail starts as a smooth gravel road then transitions into a two-track Forest Service road, then into a narrow loose rock shelf descent into the creek valley. The trail gets very narrow towards the end, so heavy pinstriping is a guarantee. The trail dumps out into the Big Piney Creek.

Difficulty

The trail is steep and very narrow towards the bottom of the valley. A couple mud holes can be deep after recent rain.

Mostly just a dirt road till you get to the descent at the end that takes you to the river. Nothing hard though. If you have 4 wheel drive you should be good

Trail conditions were good. Mostly dry with sporadic mud holes up to a foot deep in some areas. Scattered logs across the trail, nothing bigger than 8” in diameter. For single track it can get a little sketch on the downhill due to a good amount of loose rock.

The trail starts out as normal gravel road. The closer you get to the creek the rougher and tighter it gets. We had to chainsaw a tree that had fallen over the trail. Well worth the drive to get right on the creek.

The trail starts 11 miles north of Dover, Arkansas, after turning off Highway 164 onto Pilot Rock Mountain Road.
