I have always heard of the Ouachita Trail, and have always wanted to discover it....what a nice hike! In my prior hiking experience (The Lost Valley Trail in Missouri), I did not do a good job in regards to socks, and because of that tore the almighty out of my heel. That being said, I only wanted to go a few miles on this trip just to see how my feet were doing.
This trail has a ton of shelters along the way, and is one of the more secluded trail in the central Arkansas area. I am looking forward to coming back and potentially doing some kind of an overnight trip. The forest is beautiful right before fall....the mosquitoes know something is coming- they were definitely out. I am glad I had some OFF in my kit. That is why it is always a good idea to have some kind of a light pack, just in case.
