Description: A network of several single track loops, with some old logging road connections. Some loops are not well kept. Others are. Located in the Ouachita Nat'l Forest, the trails go through pine-hardwood forest, and some follow along beautiful Lake Ouachita with great views (and swims). Many switchbacks, some rock gardens, and some tough and some long climbs. The trails are fairly remote, a riding partner is recommended. Also, some trails are hard to ride after they've done controlled burns in the forest.

TRAIL REVIEWS review this trail
reviewed by TheKiller on January 22, 2011
This trail is very overgrown, my face is scratched everywhere and I ruined a pair of lenses. There is a 3 MILE!!! section of hike a bike. No way to ride this, it should not even be advertised as a mountain bike trail. It was getting dark and I thought I wouldn't make it back to my vehicle. There are some very steep descents that caused me to end over the handlebars twice. If you make a mistake on the bench cut trail you are going to slide into Lake Ouachita. Thanks to whoever built the trail, and I am appreciative of all those that maintain the trails with their free time, but this is the worst trail I have ever ridden.

This place has some well used trails, and others that you have to bushwack when you get lost (the trails aren't used that much). The two main loops are worth it, especially the one that follows along Lk. Ouachita. I tried to ride after they did a controlled burn, and had a little trouble following the trail. Bring extra tubes. I also fell in a ravine, and was lucky I didn't get hurt. Don't ride alone.
