Oops! Sorry, even moderators fail to do their own housekeeping sometimes.

The link below is to a mountain bike trail in Ruston that I have not been on but other people say is fantastic.

This link is to the mountain bike trail at Lake Bistineau State Park. I haven't been on it in a couple of years so I don't its condition.

By far my favorite trail is the Charleton trail that is located just west of Hot Springs, Arkansas. This trail is perfect- there is a park/camping ground on each end of the trail. I always start at the Crystal campground on Lake Ouchita. There are some incredible vistas, downhills, and technical areas. About halfway through the trail there is a spring comes out of a pipe on the side of a mountain where you can refill your water bottle. At the end of the trail is another park with a swimming pool that was made by damming up a small stream. It is fun to cool off and relax in the water after the ride. If you choose you can ride the trail again in reverse ( a totally different experience of course) or ride back to your car on the road.
