The wife book us for a couple of nights next month and was looking for suggestions on trails to ride. Nothing very rough as she usually has bad experiences while ridding. 1300+ miles and this will be the first trip off the farm. Any suggestions?

Let us know how it goes. I’ve never ridden mt magazine. It’s on my list. @Montecresto you ever been here?

I have been there once and loved it. We rode all day and seldom went on the same trail. I would love to go again. When are you going?

I assume you are staying at the lodge? In that case you will have to trailer your Honda each night. You can't ride from the lodge to the trails.

been riding there one of my favorite. some rough trails some just regular gravel road trails. don't remember if there was any steep climbs. there is a mud hole that will swallow a rancher whole. wanted to go there with my pioneer. planned on a trip there spring break but eneded up reserving a site at mulberry mountain. want to go some where I hadn't been before. lodge is awesome n I think mt magazine is the highest peak in arkansas. 5fa2bef3d312dccca0ee5cefcd46017355e546ebb0f8eada7b930721ccaaf1d5E1f9605445ad842b5fcbae13efce5843E0f829f234e6d864f81db11fa6c260ce

Yep, staying at the lodge on the 16th and 17th. Plan on ridding most of the day Satuday. Is there enough parking for a truck and trailer at the lodge? Crewcab Z71 and a 16' bumper pull? How far is it from the lodge to the trailhead? Adequate parking there? Sorry for all the questions.

I'll try to take some pics and will report out on what I think. The only thing I can compare it to would be Moccasin Gap when it was just open to horses, lol

yes it does have plenty of room for a semi to park. the trail head is right there so u can leave your truck there at the lodge. ride right to the trails. be advised though when they say sharp turns on the road to the lodge they mean sharp! heck if we could get a group ride going on I might just cancel on my reservation n get a tent spot at magazine. March 16-17? mainly do most of the riding Saturday.

I'm not positive but I think I remember signs specifically stating that no off road vehicles are allowed in the actual state park (unless trailered). The lodge is a very short truck drive to the trailhead. You can trailer camp at the trailhead, but it's totally dry camping (no electricity, water, etc.) It's a big field so there's plenty of room there.

I was hoping this would have been the previous weekend so that we might be able to join you. Hopefully next time!

yes I believe u are correct. it's been a while since I have been there. I do remember unloading at the trailhead in a big field. and the parking lot at the lodge was plenty big enough for large trailers. been a few years since I have been up there.

I've been wanting to go on a Pioneer ride but so far it hasn't worked out for me. I'll keep looking for opportunities though. Thanks all for the information.

Indeed I have and that is the best place for @JLH to take his wife if she’s had issues on the trail, particularly because it’s the only place that I’m aware of that has guided atv rides. I think a 3 hour and a 5 hour.

A few of us ride the ONF not too far from Mt. Magazine on a regular basis, if you’d like I’ll pm you the next ride. It’s pretty tame riding there.

Thanks for the invite, I'm going to start a weekend shift at work next weekend, taking vacation to go to Mt. Magazine on the 16th and 17th. Maybe I can get with you when I get off this shift. Nice pics.
Ok, well I’ll keep you posted on that then.

this is a spring break last minute trip. last weekend we were supposed to go to mulberry n camp. kids got sick. allergies. so we cancelled. n my 10 year old has been bugging to go riding some in the mountains. so I figured a surprise trip to mt magazine something I know I can do in a day. will be having a more organized ride later after baseball season is over. will get pictures and post how the ride went. this will be my first trip other than the deer camp with the pioneer. n my kids first trip as well. got a 10 year old and a 6 year old.
