The Oark General Store, listed in the Arkansas Register of Historic Places, was opened in 1890 in response to demand for groceries and supplies in the isolated community of Oark, in northern Johnson County. The Store has served the area ever since, giving it the distinct recognition of being the oldest continually-operated store in the Natural State. The rural community of Oark is surrounded by the Ozark National Forest and has access to many natural settings: The Mulberry River, a National Wild and Scenic River; the Ozark Highlands Trail, a spectacular 200-mile trail great for day hikes and camping; and countless miles of off-road trails for outdoor enthusiasts, including the legendary Trans-America Trail. In recent years, the Oark General Store has become an attractive destination for both on and off-road travelers due to its location along windy and dramatic Ozark highways. The Store has transitioned from mainly groceries and supplies to a full-service restaurant, serving fresh quality ingredients with a smile. Its a one-of-a-kind drive-to-eat experience everyone must try. http://www.oarkgeneralstore.com/

The main section of the Upper Buffalo Wilderness was designated in 1974 with additional acreages created by the 1984 Arkansas Wilderness Act totaling approximately 12.000 acres. This is one of the 3 wildernesses on the Buffalo Ranger District. The forest cover is mostly second and third growth oak-hickory. Some scattered stands of shortleaf pine in old fields still exist from when the Forest Service purchased the land in the 1930s and 1940s. The route to Hawksbill Crag is the only designated hiking trail located in the wilderness. The trail is developed but unmarked. A system of old lodging roads that runs throughout the area provides and informal network of trails for hiking and horseback rising. There are four developed access points to reach the Upper Buffalo Wilderness : Hawksbill Crag, Kapark Cemetery, Dahl Memorial, and Boen Gulf. Point of interest- Hawksbill Crag Rock Formation.

This bushwhack was into Hanging Rock Hollow, near Mulberry Mountain. We dropped into Wellcave Hollow and worked our way along Mountain Creek and then turned right into Hanging Rock Hollow. Once past the confluence, we left the drainage and worked our way up to Hanging Rock on Fly Gap road. Afterwards, we dropped into the west side drainage and worked our way back to the confluence and then eventually back to Mountain Creek. Very strenuous hike with 1950 ft. of elevation gain.

White Rock Mountain Creek Falls Trail Head out on this 5.8-mile out-and-back trail near Ozark, Arkansas. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2 h 24 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash. The trail descends steadily for about 2 miles until you get to White Rock Creek, crossing Forest Road 1003 on the way (this is probably the road you drove up to get to White Rock). The area around the creek has many features. First, the trail will cross the creek twice in 0.2 miles and your crossings can be wet if the water is up. Second, there are lots of flat areas for camping just as you reach the first crossing and on the other side. There is a grotto up the creek before the first crossing that has a high but small waterfall (probably dry in the summer). Last, but not least, is the water fall between the two crossings. It is high volume with a large pool and can be seen from either side of the creek.

The Rim Trail on White Rock Mountain in the Ozark National Forest about 20 miles north of Mulberry is an awesome trail, and it is not difficult. It is a 1.9-mile loop with less than 100 feet net elevation change. The Rim Trail is over 2200 feet above sea level, and almost the entire trail has amazing vista views of the surrounding Ozark mountains. Getting to White Rock Mountain To get to White Rock Mountain from the south, take Exit 24 from I-40. At Exit 24, get on Arkansas Highway 215 heading north. It is about 22 miles from Exit 24 to the White Rock Mountain Recreation Area. Once you are in the national forest, just follow the signs. You will be passing Shores Lake on the right on your way to the mountain. Be prepared for gravel roads on the way there. For specific directions from different areas, I would suggest giving them a call.

Trail Overview This trail is a good test of your off-road skills. It has many elevation changes and obstacles that will test your equipment. The lower areas have several water crossings and some very deep mud bog areas. Choose your line carefully. The trail is prone to wash-outs and has plenty of deep gutters. The northern end reaches HWY 23 at West Fly Gap Road. The southeastern connection is on Morgan Mountain Road. There are several other trails to explore along the way, as well as two fun waterfalls that make for a good stop to refresh. Recovery equipment is a must when traveling this trail. The designated trail has moved in some areas and will remain moved due to natural events. This is one of the longer, more difficult trails to ride in the area. Difficulty The trails is moderate for 60% on the lower area along Mountain Creek. The northern 20% of the trail is very tight and rough with very narrow area's more suited to SxS but a short wheelbase 4x4 can run the trail. The southern 20% is very rutted and washed out with no bypass area.
