Park/Rec Area: Leatherwood Wilderness
Region: Ozarks
Location: At Big Flat, go east on Hwy. 14 approximately 3 8/10 miles; then turn north on Hwy. 341 (Push Mountain Road). The wilderness lands lie generally west of 341 and between Forest Roads 1118 and 1116.
Description: 16,900 acres featuring flowing streams, springs, caves and bluffs; contiguous with the 22,500-acre Lower Buffalo Wilderness on the Buffalo National River. Combined, these form one of the largest areas of unbroken wilderness in the eastern United States. There are no trails; however, there are several old roads which provide good access. One of the great opportunities that these wilderness lands provide is the chance to park and explore.
