  • Eagle Rock Loop Trail Recreational Trail the Ground
    It’s a simple thing, really: a well-trod path through a place otherwise untouched, a scraggly aisle cut through a sun-dappled canopy. It’s rudimental and practical. It’s a way through. But as the eight routes featured in these pages prove, an Arkansas hiking trail can be far, far more than just a means to an end Edited by Wyndham Wyeth 60 ARKANSAS LIFE www.arkansaslife.com OCTOBER 2016 ARKANSAS LIFE 61 R. Kenny Vernon 64 Nature Trail 76 Ouachita National “Stand absolutely still and study Eagle Rock Loop Trail Recreational Trail the ground. Look for the clusters of acorns the blackjack oak has tossed aside; the horn of plenty ’VE ALWAYS BEEN OF THE MIND THAT those may live nearby.” who talk down about Arkansas have never actually set foot in the state. Surely, those folks have never been fortunate enough to see the unyielding natural beauty that abounds in this neck of the woods we call home. When it comes to the great outdoors, the variety found in The Natural State is inexhaustible. From the IBuffalo, the country’s first national river, to our state’s highest peak on Mount Magazine, and all manner of flora and fauna in between, the call of the Arkansas wild is difficult to resist. 70 But if you want to discuss Arkansas and its eminence in all things outside, you’d be remiss if you failed to address the hiking trails, Mount Nebo Bench Trail those hand-cut paths through terrain both savage and tamed that represent Arkansas in its purest form.

  • Appendix G - Roadless Area/Wilderness Evaluations and Wild and Scenic Rivers
    Appendix G - Roadless Area/Wilderness Evaluations and Wild and Scenic Rivers In accordance with 36 CFR 219.17, a new inventory of roadless areas was completed for this plan revision, and areas of the Ouachita National Forest that met the criteria for inclusion in the roadless area inventory (Chapter 7 of Forest Service Handbook 1909.12) were further evaluated for recommendation as potential wilderness areas. The reinventory of roadless areas included previously recognized roadless areas considered during development of the 1986 Forest Plan and the 1990 Amended Forest Plan. These areas were: Beech Creek, Rich Mountain, Blue Mountain, Brush Heap, Bear Mountain, and Little Blakely. Also, two areas near Broken Bow Lake in Southeastern Oklahoma, Bee Mountain and Ashford Peak, were identified in the January 2002 FEIS for Acquired Lands in Southeastern Oklahoma. Possible additions to existing wilderness areas were also considered. The roadless inventory for the Ouachita National Forest was updated for this iteration of plan revision using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Evaluation of the Forest for areas meeting the criterion of one-half mile of improved [National Forest System] road or less per 1,000 acres yielded a significant number of candidate polygons and all polygons over 1,000 acres in size were considered to determine if there were any possibility of expanding the area to a suitable size to warrant consideration as possible wilderness. Polygons meeting the initial criteria were further analyzed using criteria found in FSH 1909.12 (Chapter 7.11) to produce the inventoried roadless areas described in this appendix. The planning team determined that, of the former RARE II areas, the only ones that meet the criteria for inclusion in the roadless area inventory are portions of Blue Mountain and Brush Heap.
