Located within
Ozark-St. Francis National Forests, the 37.3 mile Huckleberry
Mountain Horse Trail was originally designed for
horseback riding, but is now available for
hikers, off-highway vehicles (OHVs)
and mountain biking. Traveling through numerous
creeks which provide water for the horses, Huckleberry Mountain
Horse Trail crosses Big Shoal Creek six times.
