A Larger Trail Network Across the Ozarks

The Ozark–St. Francis National Forest spans thousands of acres across northern Arkansas, with multiple OHV trail systems spread throughout the region. These trails wind through dense forest, cross creeks, climb into the mountains, and connect riders to some of the most scenic terrain in the state.


Mill Creek Outfitters is one of the primary access points into this larger trail network, giving riders a direct way to experience a portion of what the forest has to offer.


Whether you’re planning a full day ride or just getting familiar with the area, understanding how the broader trail system fits together helps you make the most of your time out here.

Planning Your Ride

The size of the Ozark–St. Francis trail system is part of the appeal, but it also means that routes, conditions, and navigation can vary depending on where you ride.


If you’re new to the area, starting in a well-mapped system like Mill Creek or riding with someone familiar with the trails can make it easier to focus on the experience instead of figuring things out along the way.
