Big Creek Hiking Trail

Big Creek Loop:

From the parking area, the trail follows an old road for a short distance before turning right (look for blue trail blazes) and heading down to Big Creek. After leaving the creek, it’s only a short distance up to the Big Creek Loop/Overlook Trail intersection. From here, either head back to the parking area or extend the hike another mile and enjoy the beauty of the Overlook Trail.

Overlook Trail:

This loop begins at the parking lot, but turns east along an upland area. The trail follows the bluffs along the creek and is 1.75 miles long. There are some awesome views from overlooks along the creek and unprotected bluffs over vast upland forests.

Heber Springs, AR 

Buckeye Trail .125 miles

Downstream from the dam, this trail meanders along a bluff overlooking the Little Red River and fish hatchery. The trail is mostly level, except at each end, where mossy bluffs are crossed by flights of stairs. The trail provides excellent views from an overlook shelter of the Greers Ferry dam and lake, in addition to the river valley.

The Buckeye Trail was constructed in conjunction with the Mossy Bluff Trail to provide a quality trail experience for persons who are not physically able to negotiate the more difficult areas. Displays are provided alongside these trails for interpretation of interesting natural features.
