just got back from AR. Great trip but had a hard time finding anything. Went to the Richland Wilderness Area didn't know that a GPS is almost mandatory. I'm gonna get my physical shape back and try again before the summer tourists. I'm used to Florida where there are signs everywhere to show the way with obvious trails and all the fixins and don't touch rules. Got a brochure at the Witt Springs Info Center. Just Coordinates. Let me know if there are some tricks to be aware of in these type of adventures.
@WanderingBlock Жыл бұрын
The reason you didn't find many signs is because Richland Creek is a designated wilderness and a rule for wilderness is that no official trails are built in it. So all trails in the area are social trails and because they aren't maintained they get overgrown easily and can be tricky to navigate. If you want to find somewhere with more signs and trails that are easier to follow in the area I recommend checking out some Buffalo National River trails which is ran by the National Park Service. Arkansas also has some nice state parks as well.
