About This Trail

This accessible paved and natural surface loop climbs gently through ridges to offer panoramic views of pine forests, dramatic sandstone bluffs, and the 8,700-acre Kisatchie Hills Wilderness. Interpretive signs along the way highlight the ecology of longleaf pines and the unique geology of this region. The trail is perfect for families and photographers, especially during golden hour when the bluffs glow with warm light.
