Little Missouri Falls, Ouachita National Forest
More than 2.9 million acres are included within the three national forests in Arkansas: the Ozark, the St. Francis and the Ouachita forests. The U.S. Forest Service has developed campgrounds at scenic points in these woodlands. Most of these campgrounds are located in ruggedly beautiful mountainous terrain, and are designed to blend into the landscape to preserve the forest atmosphere. Other recreational opportunities in these forests include hiking trails, horseback or ATV trails, scenic drives, picnic areas, shooting ranges, and opportunities to watch wildlife, fish, hunt or canoe.
