About This Trail

Looping through Mount Nebo State Park with views of the Arkansas River Valley, this trail features fast, flowing singletrack with armored creek crossings. Chickalah Creek crossings provide excellent rest stops, though moss-covered rocks beneath the water demand careful footing on this Ozark route.
