Beginner trails in Arkansas

[Tyler12203]

I'm looking for dual sport trails around the Ozark/Ouachita area in Arkansas. I'm a new rider and my bike is on the heavier side (ducati desert sled) so I'm looking for some easy going trails. I'm having a hard time finding info about the recommended experience level for most of the trails. Can anyone recommend trails in that area? Thanks

By no means an expert for that area but my wife and I took our 350  500 exc dual sports on a lot of the dirt / gravel roads that run thru the Ouachita . Had a great time, nothing challenging, just some good forest FR type roads. Going back this October.

Get the 2018 Arkansas Motorcycling Guide. A number of DS routes included.

The farm and logging roads through the Ouachitas west from Lake Sylvia are a good intro, with graded roads to decrepit, water-rutted rocky paths that haven’t seen a truck or Jeep in decades.
