Sep 28, 2021 · (By the end of the year, Oklahoma City should have a completed 42-mile trail loop around the city.) Finding greenways longer than a couple of miles can be difficult outside those metropolitan areas, but we’re confident you’ll find trails in Oklahoma to be truly OK.

Length:223 milesElevation Gain:~34,000 feetExpected Completion Time:(10-15 days, averaging 20-25 miles a day)Location:Eastern Oklahoma to Central ArkansasI have to recognize the potential hypocrisy of using a public platform to advertise the solitude of a place, but for the time being, I think that this trail offers the most meditative solitude I have ever experienced while hiking. The Ouachita Mountains at night are a spiritual thing. You can stealth camp almost anywhere on the trail, or there are ...
The best way to reach both trailheads is by getting a ride/shuttle or having a very dear friend drop you off (thanks again Skull Crusher). On the western side, the trail begins in Talimena State Park in Oklahoma. There is parking right at the trailhead for $5 a day. On the eastern side, the trailhead is at the Pinnacle Mountain State Park Visitor C...
The trail can be hiked in either direction, and I don’t see much advantage to hiking one way as opposed to the other. It all depends on what makes the most logistical sense. As we didn’t leave a car at a trailhead, we opted to hike west to east: getting dropped off at the trailhead in Talimena SP and ending in Little Rock, so we could catch a bus b...
The Ouachita Mountains get four seasons and can be rainy at any time of year. We did get a fair number of showers when we hiked in March. The trails didn’t get too muddy though until the last day, when we hiked through a flash flood and ended in a tornado warning. I’d advise checking a weather report before heading out, but you can pretty much coun...
Take it from the crazy guy who managed to hike the whole PCT this year with just a Coleman emergency poncho: I would certainly, certainly NOT recommend that kind of risk on the OT. A rain jacket is essential, and a puffer jacketis a good idea for any cold snaps. There are reportedly plenty of black bears in the Ouachitas but we didn’t see or hear a...
No permits are required to camp anywhere on the trail. The shelters occur once every 7-10 miles, and there are plenty of stealth campsites with fire rings in between each of those (also: you can have fires most of the year!) You can pretty much do as many or as few miles as you like each day and never have to be too committed to one spot as there’s...
There are plenty of nice lookout points along the trail. My favorite vista was from Flatside Pinnacles—there’s a 360-degree view of nearly the whole range from up there; or the side trail up Pinnacle Mountain, for its history in relation to the Trail of Tears. My favorite shelter was Bill Potter Shelter. It was 0.5 miles off-trail, but so worth it ...
First: always use a filter! There are lots of deer, foxes, and bears around to share the sources with. But the water runs beautifully along nearly all of this trail. I have never seen such an emerald-blue flow before. Some ridges require 5-10 mile carries, and a few sources are seasonal, but you can count on 10 miles being the longest dry stretch.
Okay, I know I’m just one guy, but hear me out: my strategy has always been to hit a town if the option is available. Especially in Arkansas, you never know what kind of crazy experience you’re going to have. And I did love all three towns that we stopped in. On this hike we resupplied three times: 1. Mena (a short hitch from mile 56) 2. Story/The ...
