Spanning over one million acres, this vast forest offers a wide range of activities for nature enthusiasts. You can explore hiking trails that lead to breathtaking overlooks, waterfalls, and unique rock formations. The forest is home to some of Arkansas's most stunning landscapes, including Mount Magazine, the highest point in the state.
Whether you're interested in hiking, mountain biking, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, Ozark National Forest has something for everyone. If time permits, visit Blanchard Springs Caverns, a stunning underground cave system located within the forest, or enjoy a picnic near the crystal-clear waters of the Mulberry River.
