Very technical and challenging dirt bike ride. Southern route to the creek is best going downhill.

Great day adventure near Oark. Some gravel county roads, some fun challenging trails doable with stock 4x4. 3 of 9 rigs had side wall cuts on last section. Make sure you have spare tires. Some of the dead end sections should be avoided, we were looking for new MVUM trails but several shown on map were dead ends with nothing special at the end. A few small water crossings that should be ok most of the time.

Would need a high-clearance 4x4 to get in here. A 2020, stock Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited handled it fine.

This has some very difficult up hill climbs on the way in. When you get further in there are several decent mud holes you have to be careful on.

This was some extreme off-roading with major rocky terrain coming down the trail from the top of the mountain.

The walk to the waterfall is pretty easy and path very well defined. The waterfall is really cool and there are some nice areas above the falls. The only downside was all the people there. Maybe if we had gone earlier or at a different time. Highly recommended if you can find a time when it's not very busy.

This is one of the best dispersed camping areas in the Ozark National forest.

Great Overland/Offroad Trail. Lots of little side trails to play by the river. We went while it was raining so it made for some unique mud holes but most had the option to drive around if that’s not your style. Plenty of shallow water crossings. You’ll enjoy the super blue water. Set aside 2.5 hrs depending on if you want to drive straight through or longer if you want to do some exploring. Took an extra 25 minutes to get to and from either end of the trail to paved hwy roads. We tackled the trail in a Nissan Frontier 4x4 with a 2.5” lift and Bfg Mud Tires. Would recommend to anyone looking for a secluded offroad trail with plenty of areas to enjoy what nature has to offer. March 2020

Power hiked this one with the dog before the sun went down. I had about an hour and a half for the out and back trip.
Fairly easy 2.5 miles for the average joe!

Good trail. Moderate skill level, four wheel drive required and must have decent ground clearance. Completed this trail in a first gen Sequoia with a 1.5” lift and General Grabber AT tires. A few up hill scrambles and muddy areas. Never put on 4L or locked diff. 4 decent camp areas. Start trail clockwise and camp at last camp spot. That is prettiest camp spot and will accommodate multiple vehicles. Neat old homestead marked as well.

Beautiful vehicle use trail. Road is maintained and can be traveled by vehicles that lack four wheel drive. Beautiful views!

Beautiful area with lots of great views of rock formations and bluffs along the creek. Poor fishing but we did catch a few with packed in rods. The trail is well marked and easy to follow. The trail down to the creek from green mountain road parking area is a little overgrown but beautiful!! Well worth the walk down. Some of the coolest sights. This same area if you hike back up to the green mountains parking area is a very exhausting hill be prepared. You end up walking through Blanchard springs area too. Check out the waterfall! Plus there are flush toilets and showers.

Definitely an adventure in the summer heat. Trail is overgrown with poison ivy around McMinn Gap. Mile 14-15. Crawling at times to avoid it. Road walk is also an option to get around it.
