 Mulberry
Mountain offers a wide variety of recreational
activities during all four seasons including hiking and
horseback trails, ATV trails, hunting, fishing, sight
seeing, canoeing, kayaking, bicycling, repelling, and
much more.
Hiking/Horse Trails
Take an adventure through the Ozark National forest
with to hundreds of miles of hiking and horseback riding
trails. The Ozark Highlands Trail, rated one of the most
scenic hiking trails in the country, is easily accessed
from Mulberry Mountain. Enjoy an afternoon trip to the
waterfalls on mountain creek or take a ride along the
mulberry river for great views of the Ozark Mountains.
Canoeing/Kayaking
The approximately 55-mile Mulberry River is
definitely one of the state's wildest rivers during the
spring. From its beginnings deep in the Ozarks to its
confluence with the Arkansas River, the Mulberry pours
over ledges, shoots through willow thickets, and whips
around sharp turns. These "wild" characteristics are
what give the stream its class II/III rating, and high
marks from the floating public. During the summer months
the river is much calmer and more suited for less
experienced floaters. Canoes and Kayaks can be easily
rented at one of the nearby outfitters.
Wildlife
Surrounded by the Ozark National Forest, Mulberry
Mountain provides the perfect opportunity to spot an
abundance of wildlife including whitetail deer, turkey,
squirrel, black bear, bald eagles, and much more.
Whether it’s relaxing outside your cabin or exploring
the nearby trails, you are sure to witness a few of
these magnificent creatures.
Fishing
You’ll find great fishing at Mulberry Mountain. Fish
in one of our four stocked mini-lakes or enjoy private
access to ½ mile of the Mulberry River. In late spring
and early summer, the river is an excellent choice when
angling for smallmouth, largemouth, and spotted bass or
green and longear sunfish. The potholes can be fished
during drier months, but getting to them may require
hiking along a slippery streambed.
Scenic Arkansas Highways
Thousands of automobile and motorcycle enthusiasts
travel to the Ozarks each year to tour the incredibly
scenic highways. Mulberry Mountain is located along Hwy
23, better known as the Pig Trail National Scenic Byway.
It is perhaps the most beautiful drives in the Ozarks.
The twisting curves over the mountains guide you through
a canopy of trees leading down to the Mulberry River
Valley. Take scenic Hwy 215 at Cass you will encounter
some of the most breathtaking views of the Ozark
Mountains and Mulberry River.
Arkansas ATV Trails
Bring your ATV’s and enjoy the many trails accessed
directly from Mulberry Mountain. The Ozark National
Forest features wonderful mountainous terrain, scenic
views, and clear mountain streams. Trails vary from easy
to most difficult. Be aware of other trail users while
riding, as hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers
also take advantage of these trails.
