About the Eagle Rock Loop
The Eagle Rock Loop is one of the most popular hiking trails in Arkansas, Ouachita Mountains. It's a 26-mile loop that goes through the Ouachita National Forest, and it essentially consists of three hiking trails - the Little Missouri Trail, the Athens-Big Fork Trail, and the Viles Branch Horse Trail. The Eagle Rock Loop can usually be completed in 2-3 days and it's considered to be a fairly difficult hike due to the terrain. It includes many river crossings, passing through thick forests, climbing many hills, and occasionally light scrambling on parts of the trail. Another popular trail in the Ouachita Mountains is the Ouachita National Recreation Trail, but it takes much longer to complete.
