Susan, The doggies love to trail run and hike. The big one takes the lead, thinking she knows the way and usually finds her way around fallen trees, etc. but...
You ladies ought to get together for a hike. But you really don't need a GPS for this trail. The trail is well marked (Aluminum strips on the trees) and well...
Brad and I did the 4 Notch Loop yesterday (about 10 miles), starting just after the front moved through. Needless to say, it was a bit wet, but passable. Two...
JD, I was going through a swampy area up there on my very first hike when I came upon a yellow marker. It lead me to a small creek with no way across. I...

(Note: photos online under my name, GCraze). Well, headed out today going west from the 2025 trailhead to check out the East Fork situation. It was a little...
Gary-Thanks for the update and the great pictures. The bridge has been down a few years and we have discussed the possibility of replacement with the USFS...
I suggested a GPS as she stated she's gotten lost on pretty well marked trails that had multiple choices. I own a GPS and I've used it before, but mostly to...
... I don't know exactly where you were but it sounds like the Little Lake Creek Loop. We had a similar experience. We started from a trailhead off of Hwy...
The USFS says there are no funds to replace the bridge. Cathy, Has the Forest Service been asked if they could provide technical advice if the club provided...
The technical aspects of a bridge like this are pretty straightforward. Myself and colleagues would have no problem with it. The expense is probably not more...
Lately, with all of the rain, I haven't been able to get out to walk and hike nearly as often as I would like to. Since this makes me grouchier than usual it...
Bill--Wonderfully descriptive report! Thanks so much for dazzling me with words this am ("more orange than a Ulster parade', ha!) and reminding me why we're...
JD I believe from your description it must have been the Little Creek trail. We just got back from Richards Loop. Glad for the big circle on the tree marking...
Hello Backpackers and Hikers It's done! I have posted topographic maps of the entire Ozark Highlands Trail at OuachitaMaps.com. It is a 17 map set that...
Sorry...I have had the flu and was just not up to much of anything....I thought I would have bounced back by now...but I guess not. Hope you had a nice hike. ...
Sorry to hear that, hope you get better soon. We had a great time on Richards Loop, running most of the second half of the trail. The dogs loved having 2...
... south is pretty dry, good place to park & camp (there is a NFS fee, tho'), and easy drive from Hou. ... New Waverly exit, but my directions will confuse...
Stubblefield Lake trail sounds good for the doggies then. Maybe we'll begin exploring the LSHT trails by working our way out from Richard's loop. Guess my only...
I suggest the 7.9 mile North Wilderness Loop, starting from Trail Head # 3, just south of the 149/1375 intersection. Trail Head # 3 NORTH WILDERNESS (FM 149,...
Brad--Thanks for the hike report. The group will be hiking 4 Notch on Saturday, February 23.(Meet at 9:00 am at the intersection of I-45 and FM 1375 (New...
... What you could do is camp at Stubblefield, hike south one day and do Stubblefield north the next day. And do the same scenerio utilizing the Double Lake...
has anyone considered a rope (cable net) bridge across the creek? http://incord.com/cargo-netting-for-parks.htm I don't know how far across your bridge was,...
This is so great having you guys offer suggestions! Already I have three more possible trails to explore and several people or dog hikes! I'll look both of...
This is a good suggestion to double up on the trail exploration. I think it would be fun camping on the trail but I'd need to make an investment in gear for...
JD, The segment between Stubblefield Lake and FM1374 gets swampy at the Stubblefield end. If there have been any rains, that part can get your feet wet. The...
Thanks for thinking of my feet as they were cold and soaked Sunday when we came off Richard's loop. I have a pair of water resistant trail runners being...
That's a really good idea! I had thought of a "zip" line, but it would really only be good for one direction (say...west to east). It's pretty far across the...
Do we have, or can we generate, a list of needs for bridges on the trail (locations especially)? I could pass that on to our local Boy Scout district folks to...
Folks-- I learned something today. On the National Forests and Grasslands in Texas website under FAQs: Are pets allowed? All pets must be confined to a leash,...
