アーカンソーの絶景の山頂・トップ11

The Flatside Wilderness spans 9,507 acres and is the easternmost of the six wilderness areas in the Ouachita National Forest. It is the perfect haven for outdoor lovers to enjoy its rugged terrain, small creeks, and stunning vistas, including an 8.9-mile section of the Ouachita National Recreation Trail. The area includes several peaks over 1,000 feet, with White Oak Mountain being the highest at 1,790 feet. Other notable peaks are Crystal Mountain, Grindstone Mountain, Flatside Pinnacle, and Forked Mountain. On clear days, you can even catch a glimpse of Mount Magazine, Arkansas's highest peak. This area is home to a variety of wildlife, including black bears, white-tailed deer, and in the rivers and streams, plenty of catfish, Black bass, and rainbow trout.

Flatside Pinnacle stands at 1,550 feet and offers stunning panoramic views. The short 0.2-mile trail from the gravel road to the summit is clearly marked and relatively easy, though it does get rocky and a little steep at the end. At the top are some of the best views in the state, including Pinnacle Mountain and Rattlesnake Ridge to the east. On clear days, you may even spot Mt. Nebo, Petit Jean, and Mt. Magazine. It's a perfect spot to hang a hammock, have lunch, or simply enjoy some solitude. Dispersed camping is allowed here, making it an ideal spot for thru-hikers to unwind and soak in the scenery.

Whitney Mountain sits above Beaver Lake and has great views down to the lake and of the woods around it. The hilltop is best visited on a clear day so you can take in the full panorama.

It is best to take the West Summit Trail on the way up.

This park stands out in the area for its exceptional cycling-specific facilities, including top-of-the-line cyclo-cross and mountain biking amenities. With a vast network of over 50 miles of paved trails and an additional 50 miles of natural surface trails designed for cyclo-cross, mountain biking, and running courses.

The summit of Pinnacle Mountain provides a spectacular vista of the Arkansas River Valley and the surrounding Ouachita Mountains. The main trail from the east side leading to the summit is a fun low class rock scramble. It is easier and safer to descend the more moderate trail off the west side of the summit.

The Black Fork Mountain Shelter is a backcountry shelter located off of the Ouachita Recreation Trail. It serves as a resting point and a basic shelter for hikers to spend the night during their trek. The rugged and steep Black Fork Mountain Trail continues up from the shelter to the namesake summit.
