The Ouachita National Forest is a favorite of mine. While not as technical as the Ozarks, there are still a ton of great trails to explore. The idea was pretty simple: My buddy Jackson and I would meet at Queen Wilhelmina State Park and drive across the Ouachita National Forrest to Lake Sylvia. We knew …
