Flatside Wilderness Area

According to the USDA Forest Service, no developed recreation facilities are found in this wilderness area and there are few, if any, signs to guide you. Mountain bikes, hang gliders, and motorized vehicles are not permitted. Visitors willing to travel these rugged areas by foot or horseback will find a variety of settings in which to explore, discover, and enjoy the solitude, scenic beauty, inspiration, primitive recreation, and natural ecosystems found here. You can help protect and preserve the unique wilderness characteristics for the enjoyment of this and future generations by practicing the no-trace ethic, “tread lightly” and remember to “PACK IT IN AND PACK IT OUT.”

There are nearly 10,000 acres of wilderness acres featuring small creeks, panoramic views, rugged terrain, and a section of the Ouachita National Recreation Trail.
