Alum Divide 961

Trail Overview

Another rolling, easy gravel road that leads you to more hiking entrances, scenic viewpoints, or even just a new route to the famous Hot Springs, Arkansas. This Ouachita National Forest Service Road gives you some great campsites with lots of trees and pine trees for shade during the summer months. There are two water crossings where you can put your feet in the water. These creeks flow most during the fall and winter months. Stay clear of the water during the summer months as you might find yourself nose to nose with a cotton mouth. Rattlesnakes and scorpions can also be found in this area.
