Description: Very technical trail. 5 miles one-way. Trail is singletrack througout, that winds along Broken Bow reservoir in and out of coves and ravines. There is a lot of up and down. Typical rocky Ouachita Mountains terrain. The south end of the trail has a very steep section that can't be ridden up (or probably down too) by most people. Once on top though, there is an excellent scenic view of Broken Bow Lake. The signs at the trailhead says that mountain biking is allowed, but trail is not listed on the Beavers Bend Trail Guide, and it is listed as a hiking trail on the Beavers Bend Resort Park map. The latter only provides a simple sketch of the trail. There are plenty of campling and recreation options around this area. No fee either.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail

I really liked this trail, but my riding partner didn't. Very technical, with rock and steep climbs and decents. We rode in late Feb. 2005, and the trail was covered in leaves, and there were many trees downed (due to last ice storm?) that hadn't been cleared (apparently for a while). Looks like the trail could use some help with trail maintenence, at least in clearing downed trees. No underbrush or bugs. We rode from Stephens Gap Area to the Spillway, and then rode the HWY back. If you're only riding one way, I would start at the spillway. I would definately replace semi-slick tires with some lugs. Bring and extra tube and/or tire. Scenery is excellent, better than the Old Military Trail. The Beavers Bend Resort Map says the hiking trails goes past the Carson Creek Area and to the Cedar Creek Golf Course, but I don't know if that last northern section is open to biking. They might also open up some of the other hiking trails around Beavers Bend to Mountain Bikes. Ask at the Visitors Center or Forest Heritage Center.
Similar Trail: Old Military Road, or any other Ouachita Mountains trail.
