This is the bible for OHT hikers. There is a complete mile-by-mile description of this 207.6-mile trail from Lake Ft. Smith State Park to Dillards Ferry/Hwy. 14 on the Buffalo River. This hiker-only trail has been rated as one of the Top-Ten hiking trails in the United States. The book has eleven sections maps and elevation profiles, twelve mileage logs, information on campgrounds, trailhead parking areas, hunting and fishing, scenic spots, historical features, a month-by-month weather guide, plus lots of info that you'll need to hike this wonderful trail. There is also a map and complete description of the 31.6 mile OHT Sylamore Section. Includes separate maps and complete descriptions of connecting trails. *This expanded edition includes the newest 43.7 miles of trail (aka the Buffalo River Trail, downstream sections from Woolum to Dillards Ferry/Hwy. 14). This means there is now 207.6 miles of continuous trail from Lake Ft. Smith State Park to Dillards Ferry/Hwy. 14 at the Buffalo River. The foreword was written by former Senator Dale Bumpers. The book itself was written by Tim Ernst, who has been involved with the trail project since its beginning.
Summer 2002 my fiancee and I hiked the OHT and made all plans after referring to this trail guide. We had never been to AR before and enjoyed the OHT. This guide was indispensible.

If you want to get the most out of your Ozark Highalnds Trail experience then you need to make sure you have a copy of this book. Written by the man who started it all it is the authoritative and only guide book for the OHT. I have hiked the entire 165-mile trek the last 2 consecutive seasons and I still would not want to be on the trail without it.
Don't hit the trail without it!

Be sure you've looked at this book before you make plans to hit the Ozark Highlands Trail. It helps with planning for the trip, with detailed mileage, ratings, etc. On the trail I kept it within easy reach the whole trip. Great detailing and gives info on the things worth seeing *off* the trail, as well, a real plus. Gives mileage as to how far off the trail a waterfall is, etc. OHT Bible, indeed!
