Description
Mill Creek OHV Trail offers an exciting network of off-road adventures nestled in the scenic Ozark-St. Francis National Forest, near Ozark and Cass, Arkansas. This trail system is a hotspot for ATVs, UTVs (like Polaris RZRs), and dirt bikes. While many trails are geared towards these nimbler vehicles, some routes, such as the 'Yellow Loop,' are just wide enough to accommodate 4x4 trucks like Toyota Tacomas, though you should expect a snug fit and potential for pinstriping. The trails wind through beautiful landscapes, featuring picturesque waterfalls where you can pause and enjoy the surroundings. Mill Creek also connects to other ATV routes, providing opportunities to extend your ride and explore more of the area. You'll encounter a variety of natural terrain, including rocky sections, creek crossings (which can have soft sand beds), and some impressively steep hills. It's a fantastic destination for off-road enthusiasts looking for diverse challenges and beautiful Arkansas scenery.
Directions
Access to the Mill Creek OHV trail system can be found near Ozark and Cass, Arkansas. Some users access the trails from the Mulberry Mountain area or via Byrd's Adventure Center. One access point is reportedly on Mill Creek Road. For precise trailhead locations, it's recommended to consult the US Forest Service Pleasant Hill District OHV Map or use GPS navigation tools aimed at off-road trails in the Ozark National Forest.
Difficulty
The Mill Creek OHV trail system presents a mix of challenges suitable for different skill levels, though it generally leans towards moderately challenging. Some trails, like the 'Blue Trail,' are known for being particularly demanding, featuring very steep hills, significant drop-offs to the side, and sections that require experienced driving skills. Be prepared for rocky terrain that could lead to undercarriage scrapes if you're not careful with your line. Creek crossings are part of the fun but can include soft sand that might trap unwary drivers. While some trails like the 'Yellow Loop' are wider, many are designed with ATVs and dirt bikes in mind, meaning 4x4 trucks might find them very tight. Good tire placement and an understanding of your vehicle's dimensions are key to navigating these trails successfully. There have been reports of vehicles rolling on some of the steeper sections, so caution is advised.
