Much of it is national forest with dispersed camping allowed (even during the government shutdown last year). Just look for an open spot--recommend start looking a couple hours before dark unless you don't mind setting up camp and cooking in the dark.

PM me your e-mail address and I'll fix you up.

 

Mark D,
I just want to thank you for all of the footage you have posted on youtube, that is some real good video. I know that it is a very time consuming project so thank you for the time spent that we can see your adventures. I have been in the Ozark National Forest but have not been on all of the particular parts of the video. The Ozark National Forest is vast and there is a lot of adventure to be had there.

 

I talked to my wife about this trail. We love going to Arkansas and exploring. This is now high on our list of to do's. Mark, if it is ok I am going to PM you for this trail info also.

 

I suppose i should share some pictures of the trip. I will say that due to all the rain the area received the river was impassable so we found other trails. Had a great time overall. Definitely going back.

The overflowing river... and a dog that wants her ball



Found this random trail





Thanks everyone for help in finding these trails!

 

Is that the Buffalo River? Did you start up north to head south? Anyway, glad you had fun.

 

think this will be a trip next year

 

That is the Buffalo river. We started up north and tried to head south right around St Joe. Since the river was impassable we found other trails to keep us busy.

 

hey Mark id love to have the file for google earth this looks like a fun trip and not far from home.

 

Done ..........

 

Is it possible for someone to send me the GPS file so I can use it with Backcountry Navigator on my tablet. Please and thank you...
