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, heavy pinstriping is a guarantee. The trail dumps out into the Big Piney Creek.

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.

Access Description

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