updated 4/30/02
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LONGEST HIKING TRAILS IN ARKANSAS (all included in the Arkansas Hiking Trails guidebook by Tim Ernst)
223 miles - Ouachita Trail (includes 43.6 miles in Oklahoma, mountain bikes are allowed on most of the trail now)
165 miles - Ozark Highlands Trail (plus 15 miles of the Buffalo River Trail, and two other pieces that are under construction at Norfork Lake and on the Sylamore Ranger District. This trail will eventually be several hundred miles long and link up with the Ozark Trail that is being built across Missouri, creating a trail system nearly 1,000 miles long.)

37.1 miles - Buffalo River Trail - South Boxley to Pruit
26.8 miles - Eagle Rock Loop (this loop combines the Little Missouri Trail, Athens-Big Fork Trail and part of the Viles Branch Horse Trail to form the loop)

15.7 miles - Little Missouri Trail
