Kiamichi Mountain Trails

Located in the Ouachita National Forest, the Kiamichi Mountain Trails offers several different types of terrain for riders. These are not standard trails, but open wilderness and forest service roads; as such, this type of cross-country riding is recommended for experienced riders only. There are rough mountain passes, sloping trails, winding forest paths and open fields all waiting to be explored. The Kiamichi Mountain Trails are true adventures for the outdoors man. There are no guides and no ATV rentals available at the site. It is recommended that you bring along a GPS to find your way around the countryside and avoid getting lost. Since this is unrestricted land, there are no fees required, but adherence to forest regulations is expected.

Beaver Dunes State Park

Beaver Dunes State Park is the place to be for riders who enjoy rolling hills and dune riding, as the name implies. The park is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. all year long. You will need to call to find out how much to pay in park fees for the season. Daily, 3-Day, and annual passes are available. Because the dunes are constantly shifting due to weather and natural erosion, only experienced riders are recommended for this park. Be sure to practice common sense and caution when riding the dunes and be prepared for drop-offs and other sudden changes in the land. With that being said, if you happen to be an experienced rider, this park will definitely give you a unique and interesting trip every time you visit. In addition to riding, there are also places for fishing, hiking and camping within the park. As well as two playgrounds which include basketball and volleyball courts, pavilions, horseshoe pits and showers.
