Buffalo River Trail (Lower Section)
Buffalo National RiverA section of the 37-mile Buffalo River Trail through the Lower District. Remote backcountry with river crossings, towering bluffs, and zero crowds. Elk sightings common.
Goat Trail & Big Bluff
Buffalo National RiverThe most thrilling hike in Arkansas — a narrow ledge trail along the face of Big Bluff, the highest bluff above a river in the contiguous US at 550 feet. Not for the faint of heart.
Ozark Highlands Trail (Richland Section)
Ozark National ForestA scenic day-hike section of the 165-mile Ozark Highlands Trail through the Boston Mountains. Deep hollows, clear streams, and classic Ozark upland forest. Connects to the broader 165-mile trail.
Bell Mountain Loop
Mark Twain National ForestThe highest point in the Ozarks of Missouri at 1,702 ft. Open glades, granite outcroppings, and panoramic views. One of the premier backpacking destinations in southern Missouri.
Hercules Glades Wilderness Loop
Mark Twain National ForestA rugged loop through one of Missouri's largest wilderness areas. Open glades, rocky ridge tops, and valley streams. Excellent wildflower display in spring. Remote — pack in everything.
