Although subjective – what is a level 4 to a novice off-roader can be like a jaunt to the store for someone who is experienced. The scale is a pretty good indicator of the driving skill level and equipment needed in order to enjoy yourself on the trail.
Level 1 trails are considered to be the easiest.
Level 5 trails are the most difficult.
Trail ratings listed are for SUV’s / 4×4’s. Experience and skill is the deciding factor for what level trail you choose. The more diamonds, the more difficult the terrain.
♦
One Diamond
This level is for the novice off-roader. Four-wheel dive will be needed occasionally for a few “tough” spots. Bring a camera and the family. At this level everyone can relax and enjoy the ride.
♦♦
Two Diamond
For the little more experienced ‘wheeler. Four-wheel drive LOW RANGE will be needed for most of the trail. Stock vehicles with stock tires are OK. Still an enjoyable ride, and a great way to climb into the 4×4 sport!
♦♦♦
Three Diamond
Action-packed and challenging, for moderately experienced ‘wheelers. At least 32″ aggressive treads are recommended, a locking differentials should also be part of your equipment list. Level 3 requires more concentration than levels 1 and 2.
♦♦♦♦
Four Diamond
High-intensity, adrenaline-pumping fun! For experienced wheelers only! At least 33″ tires and front/rear lockers are a must. A winch and tree strap is recommended. These trails require a co-driver / spotter and heavy concentration.
♦♦♦♦♦
Five Diamond
This is the real deal for experienced off-roaders! Nobody gets on a Level 5 trail without being locked front and rear. Your must have a winch and tree straps, 36″ or taller rubber, and little regard for your rig’s body panels. You can expect cosmetic and mechanical damage on some of these trails. These trails require a co-driver / spotter and your undivided attention. Bring a camera and a clean change of underwear. Due to the varying degree of these Five Diamond trails, beware that just because you conquered one with ease doesn’t mean the next one won’t put you on your lid. USE CAUTION on these trails. Though we have one trail named “impossible”, there are several that truly are for all but a select crowd.

Trails are open 7 DAYS PER WEEK from 9am until dusk year-round, rain or shine. Message us on Facebook or call 501-625-3600 or check the Calendar of Events if you have questions or want to find out more.

Well worth the drive from TX. Very impressed with the vastness of trails. The staff was great, friendly and knowledgeable on all aspects. We had a blast. We look forward to coming back, with family, to earn a Badge of Honor!

“The trails were in nice shape as was the campground. Trails are mild to wild, and we rode everything. This is one of the best parks I have been to!
— Kiley C.
Love this park. Been wheeling this park for over 25 years and the new owners have done some amazing upgrades. The trails are marked accurately and there are trails from easy to ‘you ain’t making it’. We try and get back to this park as often as possible.
