Hiking Trails
Running or Walking - All fun
The Beaver Lodge Trail is one of the nicest parallel to the Mountain Fork River, covered with shady tree canopy with two bridge crossings. Fun for kids. One mile out and back. This is a particularly fun trail to hike at night. Full moon nights are best.
Many other trails in Beavers Bend Park up to the connecting David Boren trail of 12.5 miles (one way). David Boren Hiking Trail (DBHT) - 12 mile one-way, marked with white spots on trails. Well defined and is mostly 1 person width. There are four sections to the trail where you can park and start hiking. The Skyline Trail (6 miles) is a nice section of forestry and you go up and down and up and down and up and down. It's a scenic trail and good conditioning for elevation training. It's a good park to take the family to as there are many activities.
Also see the Ouachita National Forest and Three Rivers Wildlife Management Areas for more trails, back packing and hiking.
From Pine Meadow Cabins, you can run directly out your cabin across the road through several gravel road developments for scenic exercise. It’s about 6.2 from the cabins to the Broken Bow Lake and back on the Carson Creek Road. Book Online
