About this place

The trail follows along the North Sylamore Creek, a federally designated Wild & Scenic river, from which it is named. Hikers will encounter a wide variety of forested landscapes ranging from lower streamside elevations to high ridges. Main points of interest include Slick Rock Hollow, numerous scenic overlooks, and beautiful open fields managed as openings for wildlife. In addition to the original 13.75 mile section, the trail now extends from Barkshed Campground, upstream along the creek to a new trailhead on Cripple Turkey Road where it intersects the Ozark Highlands Trail. From Mountain View, go north for 6 miles on Hwy 5 N., take Arkansas Highway 14 West for 11 mile, turn right, TH is down road.
