    The Athens-Big Fork Trail cuts through the rugged heart of the Ouachita Mountains, climbing over six major ridgelines in just nine miles. It’s a steep, rocky route with more than 2,000 feet of elevation gain and limited water sources, so come prepared for a tough but rewarding hike. Whether you’re tackling it as part of the Eagle Rock Loop or on its own, the trail delivers sweeping views and a true taste of the Ouachita backcountry.
