i am orginally from east texas and have only been here for about 5 years. so you'll have to elaborate.

if im thinking of the right one its right before you cross the Arkansas river on 430? going south

[jlee003]

i normally go out behind the airport a little ways. there are some good powerline roads here in the cabot area that are good as well. you just have to watch out for that dam paint

There's some off of deny road, behind little rock christain off of highway 10 and a few other holes here and there.

There's some good powerline roads out on Chenal. If you're going towards the big Walmart on Chenal and Cantrell/Highway 10 (Coming from the West LR and Kroger on Chenal), it's the very last left turn before Chenal goes in to 2 lanes. You'll be driving by a bunch of really nice subdivisions on the left of that road, but a little ways back on the right there's a small entrance through the trees. It's a pretty tight squeeze but my Yukon managed to make it through. There's also a burned up hull of an OBD 4dr Tahoe/Yukon not too far back there

And out by Lake Winona (about a 30 min. drive from my house in West LR) there's some good trails that go around the lake in the Ouachita National Forest. Just keep going on highway 10 until you turn left onto highway 9, and a couple of miles down hwy 9 on the right is the entrance of "Winona Scenic Drive". It's beautiful country up through there. The only mildly difficult/challenging trails are past the spill way of Lake Winona. Some of that's a pretty tight fit, but my Yukon managed to make it through there. Oh, and if you do go back in there, make sure you bring a map of the area. My dad and I got lost for 2 hours back there because we didn't know where we were going, haha.

There are some good trails and some small mudholes all throughout that area though. I've gone out there in my old Blazer and driven for over 60 miles without ever touching pavement. And the best part is, almost everything out there is federal land, so you don't have to worry much about accidentally winding up on someones property (the private property that is out there is very heavily marked).

Sorry about the essay guys, haha. I hope this helps somebody out.

Oh, and here's a pic of my old Blazer after a day of wheeling out there:

You know it was a good day when your hood is covered in tadpoles

thanks man that is some great info. i will have to put these new 35's to the test.

we should get an fsc trip together up there

[itcantbestephen]

Yeah I agree. I'd like to get rid of these street tires first before I do any serious wheeling though (came with the truck). What kind of tires are you running?

Oh, and has anyone been to the Hot Springs ORV park? I've been thinking about making a trip out there this summer.

[jlee003]

i havent been yet. it is a hell of a drive from north cabot. i got the HANKOOK m/t's. i highly reccomend going to cabot tire and off road. they do great work. just let me know. i will probably make a trek up there next week to check it out.

I went back out to the Ouachita National Forest last weekend. There are some downed trees here and there, and some of the roads are kind of washed out. I didn't go looking for too much trouble this time though, me and a couple of my friends went out there more for scouting out a campsite and to climb Flatside Pinnacle.

Here are a couple of pics:

I wish I could find a place to go wheelin' where I wouldn't have to risk scratching up the sides of my Yuke so much.

[jlee003]

i feel you on that one. we have climbed pinnacle a few times. great work out. if you want to go mudding i know of some places, however, they are for serious wheeli8ng. thats why i dont normally go. theres some guys that are all around the pine bluff area that started a forum called mudstruck.com for the arkansas wheelers. only problem is most of them are running like 40" tires on some bad azz rigs. still cool to check out the pics though
