Yes, it's about 35 minutes from the house, very rocky and not my favorite place to ride and can be very crowded on week ends. You can look it up, they got us hemmed up to the Blue loop, it's nice but?

The way my cousin made it sound it seemed like a nice place to be. He showed me a bunch of pictures and there seems to be pretty much everything except sand.

Welcome. My 1000-5 build took 8 months Got it back today. Stock up on patience and whiskey. You are gonna need plenty of both. Nobody has stock on parts accessories brackets lights ect ect.
Shops have no workers. Unless u got a good place to work, tools, plenty of DYI skills its a tough road. Beware of vendors who pop your card then dont ship in time. Dont answer phones e mails and dont return messages. If a vendor claims to have a hard to find item then thhey are most likely lying. If a shop tells you 3 weeks figure 3 months. Cruise craigs lists FB groups and fourms. Thats how I found most of my stuff. Exoect having to mod stuff to make it fit properly Expect holes that dont line up. Exoect tHE universaL escuse when things gO south - COVIID Avoid bargain basement items unless they are name brand close outs or pre owned quality stuff. Above all else ask questions here first before buying. Use vendors with a history here.
the good news is you bought a killer awesome machine. Its like no other when you get it finished. Best of luck and enjoy

Welcome from BC. Congrats on your ride. Looks like you're in a good spot to enjoy your toys.
Mulberry mountain and Mill Creek trails in Arkansas are some of the most beautiful trails especially in the fall when the leaves are turning, skid plates for long machines is a requirement unless you don’t care to damage your ride,
forgive the PoPo in the pics, I myself am new as I am waiting on my Talon Live valve 4 seater to come in!

Went to Mulberry Mountain back in June. It was nice, except the unusual amount of rain they had caused some roads to wash away and many trails to be "closed". We plan on going back!
Are these the falls Ozark Mountain around Mulberry Mountain? We tried to get to the falls back in June, but we were traveling by our selves in the Pioneer 700-4 and just didn' t want to risk it on some of the trails due to no one else being with us. On our trip home, decided to stop in Rogers, AR and buy a Talon with 32" tires
Now it's time to go back. You'll have to let me know how to find those places in your pics!!!

That reminds of some of the pictures my cousin was showing me. It looks really nice. It should be a little over 4.5 hours drive for me. I see there is a lodge on Google. Is the area state owned and you just drive anywhere or do you have to go thru the lodge?
I think I recall reading that you can't drive on the roadways, but everyone does and they say it is fine to go from one trail head to the next. We and everyone else there did and no one says a word. It is a National Forest, so there are pay stations set up at certain trail heads where you fill out the form and insert your $3 for the day. No pay to ride trails is through any lodge or campground. Awesome!!!

Check this link out, will have address and trail map, Ozark-St. Francis National Forests - Mill Creek
Falls are on the blue loop north of the trail head off Mill Creek Rd if my memory serves me
We went that way in June of this year but the red and the blue loops were, as we were told, washed out. Tried going down in there by Mill Creek but it was super swampy and we didn't have anyone with us that could pull us out if need be. Again, we were in the Pioneer then. There is a 60' fall down East Fly Gap Road and then south from there, but we never made it either..... the rain did a number on a lot of trails this year, but we plan on going again. Maybe even this fall.
