My family and I are taking the truck to northern Arkansas for spring break. We are staying near Beaver Lake / Eureka Springs. We have never been off-roading in that area before. Can anyone recommend some good trails in the area?

Sorry if this isn’t the right forum for this question.
 
I'm an hour south of NWA, so I'd be interested in this as well.
 
Many forest roads between Mt. Ida and Hotsprings. I just find and explore
 
NWA here!! Will be watching this close
 
It looks like there is an Offroad park near Eureka Springs. Has anyone been to this place or know if it is any good? Or know of other options?

This thread may give you some ideas. You'll need to jump to page 17 or so for the trail stuff.

Lots of roads in the Ozark National Forest. The Mountain View/Blanchard Springs/Gunner Pool area has trails if you want to hike. Blanchard Springs Caverns tour is good for a couple of hours. Ponca area further west has access to Buffalo National River with hiking trails and some roads.

Thank you very much for this information!
 
Beware that trails on the Ozarks are very tight and can be pinstripe-prone, especially in a wide rig like a 200. Most folks here wheel in SXSs rather than road-going rigs, so the trails are getting narrower with time. I carry a M18 Hackzall with a pruning blade for tight spots. Best to stick to forest service roads if you want to avoid paint damage.

Other than that, wheeling opportunities abound.
