http://www.nwabusinessjournal.com/11927/the-nature-conservancy-pays-391-million-for-beaver-lake-land I have made this hike several times. One hike, I followed the old logging road all the way up to the highest peak to try to see the view looking out across the valley to the railroad. Unfortunately, the trees were clear cut many years ago and have grown back up very thick. The original view that made this area famous is obstructed. The story (read the details in the link I provided) is that people would hike up to an old stand of cedar trees and have lunch or dinner and enjoy the vista and view of the railroad off in the distance. The railroad follows a high, narrow cliff that supposedly is striking. I plan to go back out when the trees has dropped their leaves. On a different hike, I followed the creek all the way down to Beaver Lake. It is a fairly long hike, and the trip back is all uphill...I mean ALL uphill! Me and my dog had a great time tromping through the snow and ice along the ragged creek bed. We saw a feral herd of hogs and lots of wildlife. The rock outcrops are jagged and beautiful with lots of overhangs and places to crawl under to photograph. It is very easy to get too off Arkansas Hwy 62 right outside Gateway, AR. The hike can be a simple two hour hike out to the bottom of the creek, four hour hike to the old cedar grove, or an all day hike out to Beaver Lake.
