The Natural State

Pretty new here to TW as well. I am in the Little Rock area and only have had my taco just a few months and am just getting started working on it.

 

anyone know of some off road trails that are somewhat mellow? not into serious rock crawling, gotta pull out the wench to survive, kind of off road. but just some mess around stuff to bs on? i know theres that park in hot springs, but idont really feel like paying. and something maybe a little closer to the cabot area.

 

If you find some let me know, id be interested in some mellow trails for now as my tuck is mostly stock

 

Just wanting to let some of yall here know that I will be up in Hot Springs from the 11th-17th. Myself and a stock 4x4 GMC will be hitting the trails 14,15 and 16 at the superlift park. We won't be camping but driving back and fourth to my buddies house.

 

That might be a option for me if some folks want to meet up and wheel, but i cant really give a positive yes till its a bit closer to those dates.

 

No worries man it just an open invite. As the date gets closer i'll post my number as I don't expect to have the internet there.

 

We will be leaving in 2 days. Superlift ORV park this up and coming Weekend.

 

I live in the Heber Springs area. I'm definitely down for a ride sometime. We should try to set a ride for a month or so in advance so we can get as many folks together as possible.

 

Yea i dont think i am going to be able to fit in super-lift this weekend but if we tried to get a large or as large of a group you can get in Arkansas i would be more than happy to come down. I live in Little Rock so its pretty easy for me to get just about anywhere, just wish i had some new tires for something like that

 

how gnarly or lame are the trails at hot springs? is it some crazy riding or are there chilled out trails to mess around on?

 

I think its is a good mixture of everything

 

Stick to the 1 and 2 rated trails and you should be fine. My Gf drove for the first time this past weekend and had a blast. Now the trails change from time to time. We hit some 2 rated trails that were pretty tough I would have classed it a little harder than 2. Still had a blast.

 

does anyone ever go float the buffalo?

 

yup. was supposed to go today, but had some stuff come up.

 

whats their rules for alcohol? they as strict as san antonio now?

 

as far as i know its cans only and needs to be in a coozy and the cooler must be strapped down shut

 

yeah, something like that.

honestly, i've never seen a ranger or any authority figure on the buffalo. as long as you don't cause any crap and keep it in a coozy, i think you'll be alright. if you see a ranger, just put your drink down in the canoe. i doubt they'll harass you unless you are making a scene or causing trouble

 

Ive gotten stopped by the rangers twice just doing routine inspections, they just checked the coolers to make sure there was no glass, everyone was of age, and that the people fishing had licenses. The rangers up there are the only people on the river with motorized boats for the most part so you will typically hear them coming a good ways ahead.

 

New to the thread... i am from fort smith. Did yal ever have a meet?

 

From Maumelle...just got my new DC LB two weeks ago!!!
