This hike begins near the highest point in Arkansas atop Mount Magazine. You’ll follow the trail down past the bluffs ringing the mountaintop and descend fifteen hundred feet through dense hardwood and evergreen forest in the Ozark National Forest eventual arriving at Cove Lake. Given the length this hike it may be best enjoyed as a one-way adventure with a shuttle vehicle parked at the Cove Lake trailhead. Camping is allowed in the Ozark National Forest so a backpacking adventure is a possibility as well.

The Yalobusha River is full of pleasant surprises and meanderings and is a paddler’s paradise from the dam in Grenada to its end. Claimed to be “one of Mississippi’s treasures,” it flows through the Malmaison Wildlife Management Area, displays sycamore, birch, maple, and willow forests along its banks, hosts and abundance of wildlife from beaver to red-tailed hawks and blue herons, and possesses some fine sandbars and clear water. It is floatable at virtually any level; even in flood the river is fairly docile. There are many opportunities for camping and other outdoor recreational opportunities along its path. This route flows through the gorgeous Malmaison Wildlife Management Area for about half its distance.

This section of the Mulberry has good action. There are a few named rapids and several tight curves. Redding Campground is on the right about halfway down. The Mulberry can be a lazy stream one day and the next be too full to run. Always check the current river level.

Very simple hike that takes you through Historic Cane Hill! You can even pick up a pamphlet at the museum that tells you about all the buildings you walk by! It takes you over a natural spring and on beautiful rock facings. You start at the cemetery so if you like spooky things check it out! Almost all the buildings you walk by are on the National register of Historic Places.

Arkabutla Lake is a reservoir on the Coldwater River in both Tate and DeSoto counties in north Mississippi. It is a beautiful and popular lake with an annual visitation exceeding 2 million people. To accommodate all of its visitors, there are many recreational opportunities and facilities available. The lake offers a fishing pier, swimming beach, accessible campgrounds, sailing, waterskiing, and paddling. Sailing is very popular because of the dependable winds. For paddlers, this is something of caution but there are small coves to escape the wind. Wind warning lights are visible from most areas on the lake. No alcohol is permitted and lifejacket wearing is strictly required. The scenery and natural beauty is wonderful while paddling Arkabutla Lake.
