*Ouachita Trail - This is the longest trail in the Ouachita National
Forest spanning 192 miles across its entire length. In the west, the
trail begins at Talimena State Park on U.S. Hwy. 271 near Talihina,
Oklahoma. The eastern boundary is south of Perryville, Arkansas on Hwy.
9. Another 32 miles of trail, located on private and other public lands,
extends to Pinnacle Mountain State Park, 15 miles west of Little Rock,
Arkansas. Elevations range from 600 to 2,600 feet as the trail passes
through forested mountains, across sweeping valleys and near
clear-running streams. Spur trails connect to various recreation areas
and points of interest. Numerous road crossings and access points
provide oppportunities for point to point hikes of various distances.
For more information, you may purchase a detailed map at all Ouachita
National Forest offices. *
