Ok ,so they either raised the sticker cost to ten bucks or I was in error, either way getting caught without one in the natl forest could get a guy a stiff fine......next time you are up in the Fort Smith / Fayetteville area go west on AR170 just south of Fayetteville on I 540. Take AR220 west (a dirt road) for seven or eight miles , look for a large parking area close to a concrete low water bridge. You are at the fall creek trailhead now. There are two proposed trail head yet to be built , one where buckhorn creek crosses cove creek crossing road and a third somewhere off old 12 crossroads road which would access the trails south of Devils Den State park without having to cross Lee creek .
So far I have rode trails marked with red diamonds and those marked with "A"," B" and "C" on the north west side of AR220. They don't correspond with any numbers on the "phase one map" you might have seen but the trails follow much the same routes as on the map . Those trails finished must be a small part of what is to come.
Seems strange as the Ouachita forestry service is trying to kill Wolf Pen Gap and the Ozark forestry service is busy building a new Park. I wonder if the way they are billing this park as an "OHV" park and not an "ATV" only area makes it more publicly palatable . So far I have met several Jeeps and Samaris on the trails , and expect to see some Rock crawlers in the area south of Devils Den park someday.
The rumor I heard was they were going to sell year long passes to the Park for around $35.00 . It seems like there must have been new life given to this project from somewhere, it has been over three years since I first heard of it being "studied" for environmental impact.
