Bear Creek Cycle Trail

Friday, February 9, 2024

Other Names

Bear Creek Trail, Bear Creek Motorcycle Trail, Lake Greeson, Ouachita Mountains, Daisy State Park, Kirby Landing, Bear Creek Recreation Area, Rough Mountain, Little Missouri River

Last Known StatusOpen

This area offers a long but scenic ATV trail loop that hugs the eastern shores of Lake Greeson. The terrain consists of rugged uphill and downhill climbs, stream crossings and the occasional mud puddle.

There are several staging areas to access different sections of the trail but the most challenging segment is located at Daisy Park. For those looking for more beginner friendly terrain try staging at Kirby Landing or Bear Creek.

The lake offers numerous camping, boating and swimming opportunities. Both trails and campgrounds are open year-round but some services may be limited during the winter months.
