| Trail Description: |
Private camp trails access the Forche Mountain Trails (Formerly Mill Creek Equestrian Trails). There are mountain views, abandoned silver mines, beautiful rock formations, plenty of creek crossings and miles and miles of endless riding. Even a waterfall or 2. Rides can range from a short one hour ride to a day full of riding! The Ouachita National Forest is absolutely beautiful. There are about 50 miles marked currently but more marked are being added constantly. No limit to unmarked, possibilities are endless! The Campground borders thousands of acres of Ouachita National Forest. Trails rate from easy to challenging. There's something for everyone! |
