What to know
** An Arkansas State Parks Monument Trail**
This two-plus-mile descent starts at the Chickalah, Ox Pull, HCR hub. The turns are steep and you'll gain speed as you roll around them. There are some unavoidable rock gardens to conquer and several alternate lines you'll want to choose your own adventure on.
This trail has the bridge sculpture across Hayes Creek about two-thirds of the way down. There are beautiful views of Lake Dardanelle in the winter. This is a long, steep descent less sculptured than the Chickalah Downhill.
Haney's Ridge is a .5 mile technical trail that connects to the Hayes Creek Run about 1.2 miles in.
