Since Devil's Den Park has the oldest public trails they are well worn. Go to the Visitors Center there and for 50 cents a person can purchase a map of the whole lower valley which contains many more trails both within the park and outside the park.
Horsemen should not use the Winslow exit off of 540, they should instead use the West Fork Highway 170 exit off from 540. Hwy.74 will not accommodate horses in trailers. It is much to steep & very crooked.
They have 13 cabins (about 1 mile away from the Horse Camp) that can be rented in addition to about 35 Horsemen Camp sites.
The Yellow Horse Trail is a trail that anyone can ride at a walk in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. A novice rider should feel comfortable on this trail.

The Red Trail is 7 miles long (Holt Ridge Trail) and in some places steep. It is a bit more challenging either the horse or the rider needs some experience on this one.

The Green Trail is 8 miles long (Vista Point) and has a gorgeous view of the whole valley. It requires riding on some ledges and some steep spots in it.

Bear Creek Horse Camp is located about 5 miles off of Hwy 7 south, a few miles north of Jessieville, AR. There is a Ranger Station outside of Jessieville that has maps of the horse trails. Horse Camp is primitive, but does have some level sites for trailer camping. Because the camp is so primitive, there isn't a lot of other traffic on the trails (i.e., 4-wheelers or mountain bikers). There are several miles of trails making different loops for all kinds of riding.

Mountain View area: Sylamore Experimental Forest has about 85 miles of marked horse trail consisting of old logging roads. However, Be brave, Get off the beaten path. Stop at the Forest Service office on your way through Mountain View, and purchase a Norfork Quadrant Map, and a Calico Rock Quadrant map. Plan a trip around these maps. Best time to ride is early spring when the dogwoods are blooming, or Early Fall when the leaves are changing.
Some of the highlights are, Sugarloaf Tower, Salt Peter Cave, Cap Fork Creek, Cole Fork Creek, Livingston Creek, and Bearhead Creek, trails, and numerous waterfalls.

 

There are thousands of acres here to ride. If you get off the beaten path you are sure to see some great sites!!! You can camp on Merrill Ridge Road (Bring you own water) Bear Road at highway 5 (water only when the creek is running), or for the Cabin & Hot Tub Dwellers contact Tall Pine Horse Resort www.trailriding.net for more information on all of the above.

Big Flat: Clifty Canyon is a remarkable place. Nothing is marked here. A GPS is a plus.
But for the avid trail rider this is one of the best trails I have ever ridden in the Nation. There are 3 prongs to it that sort of look like a turkeys foot on the map. There is a trail that runs along all 3 creeks that make up the canyon and All 3 end at the Barkshed Bridge.

 

The best ride is from Sand Road Parking area described below, ride towards the bridge about 1/2 of a mile to Ashley Road (unmarked but the first very wide trail) turn right ride down the hill to Cap Fork Creek and turn left to (downstream).Ride this trail until you come to the first creek on your right, then ride a short distance up the creek to an amazing gushing waterfall that runs all year round.

 

Ride back out and continue towards the bridge. In about 2 miles you will come to an amazing bluff that over hangs you 100 feet and you ride under it for about 900 feet. This Bluff is Newcome Rockhouse Bluff, and yes a long time ago this family lived a summer there and this is how it gets it's name. It is an amazing place that many do not get to see.

 

In about 3 miles you will come to Barkshed Bridge. This is a great place to tie up and eat a sack lunch on the picnic tables acrossed the bridge. On this trail you cross Cap Fork Creek 33 times.

 

If you want to go a different way home ride under the bridge, and find the Cole Fork trail on the Opposite side of the bank from the campground, and a little upstream from the bridge.
Ride this trail about 3 miles. On the WEST side of the creek, the trail comes to a Y, take the left fork, (the right fork leads to the third prong Stewart Creek and this is where the huge Natural Bridge is) ride this left fork trail for 3/4 of a mile and you will come into a primitive campground. Ride up this road (1125) and when you come back onto Barkshed road turn right back to your vehicle about 1 1/2 more miles.

 

Clifty Canyon is located off Highway 341. To get there From Highway 14 turn onto 341 towards Norfork, drive about 5.5 miles to Barkshed Road (there is an Orange Sign that says "Barkshed Bridge Closed") Drive down Barkshed Road 1.5 miles to Sand Road (Unmarked but the first good sized pull off big enough to get 3 good sized horse trailers in there) unload there.

 

Stewart Creek trail (described above) is rough and faint. But for the determined rider this Natural Bridge is big enough for 50 people to sit under and eat lunch at the same time and certainly adds to the amazing place list of this Canyon.

 

You can camp down at the primitive campground off Barkshed Road 3 miles down on #1125, but BEFORE you go down there with your horse trailer, drive just your truck down there first to see if it will go around the curves. For the Cabin & Hot Tub Dwellers, the nearest accommodations for Horses and Riders contact Tall Pine Horse Resort www.trailriding.net for more information on all of the above.
