This is a longer out-and-back ride with a lot of variety and some great views. For over seven miles you’ll enjoy winding trail on rolling terrain as you roughly parallel the Lake Ouachita shoreline. The distant end of the trail begins to climb as you move away from the lake getting steeper and more technical as you go; obviously this makes for some great downhill action as you make the return. There are many access points to this ride so as you become more familiar with it you can just enjoy sections that cater to a lower skill level or do a shuttle just for the downhill section. The entirety of the ride takes place in dense woodlands existing in a largely natural state.
