Thru-Hike Arkansas's Ozark Highlands Trail

The Ozark Highlands Trail is an epic 164-mile long hiking trail across northern Arkansas in the Ozark Mountains.

This section routes hikers over several mountains and past numerous streams.

This section routes hikers across the tallest point on the OHT and also through a designated scenic area.

At 29.6 miles, this section is one of the longest and least used on the OHT. It also has one of the steepest climbs on the trail; however, it includes plenty of waterfalls and bluff views as payback.

Good drinking water sources, scenic waterfalls, and inviting campsites, plus a tour of an old CCC camp.

This section routes hikers through one of the most scenic areas in Arkansas and also past a huge natural bridge.

This section contains the interesting remains of another CCC camp, several picturesque stream crossings, the steepest climb on the OHT, and a side trip at the end to a truly unique twin falls.

The final section of the OHT offers giant boulders, tranquil stream crossings, elk, views into hollows, and “The Narrows.”
