Mountain Biking Moccasin Gap
#51 of 206 mountain bike trails in Arkansas
This trail is a multiuse, sometimes rocky trail network. There are four main loops: the Gap Hollow trail, Stave Mill Falls loop, High Mountain loop, and Black Oak (I think) loop. There are loops on old fire roads, and some single track. High Mountain loop is considered the most difficult and is supposed to be unridable in places. Stave Mill Falls loop is more managable. There are washouts and other trail anomalies from 4-wheelers and horses. There are some good sections though, some very scenic.

Take HWY 7 north from Russellville @ 23 miles (?). Its on the west side. Watch for it after you enter the Ozark Nat'l Forest. Or, from Harrison take HWY 7 south. The trail camp is right off of 65, just south of Pelsor and just north of Mack's Pines, on the west side of 7
The trail head is at top of mountain so all trails are downhill. Skills set very but what goes down must come up. Well mark but heavy ATV use. Recommend a partnership to make the climb back up enjoyable. If you are planning to visit the trail get GPS directions before you leave from either Dover or Jasper ARK. Signals are poor. Route 7 is the key route between the 2 towns
| ThankI rode this trail on a Monday at 11:00AM so I had the entire trail system to myself which is good because it is mostly an ATV trail and horse trail. Lots of climbs!! And lots of downhills! There are a large amount of loose rocks so be aware and bring extra tubes. However, this was one of, if not the best trails I have ridden! Lots of creek crossings, one directly upstream of a waterfall!! I really can't say enough good things about this trail, but I don't think I would try it when the ATV's are out.
| ThankIMO this place should be rated "advanced" "all-mountain". It is not singletrack but it is insanely fast with 2x black diamond rock gardens sections, lots of water break jumps and tight turns. There are some brutal climbs in here, I suggest Black Oak Ridge ( purple markers) to the Orange loop. the Blue loop is also a great ride. I do not suggest the High Mt. Loop unless you climb like Ned O. I would not go here on weekends to many mottos and horses. but if you are here on a weekday you can have this all to your self. There are some great waterfalls and creeks in here as well. I grew up near here and learned to bike here back in the 90's and this place had me dialed for my first trips to places like Moab/ Sedona
| ThankLots of trail to ride but is shared with 4wheelers, motorcycles, and horses. If you are not in shape can be very demanding but has some really fun downhill runs and some steep climbs.
| ThankThe place has a lot of trail miles. The single track loops are great, but the double track has ruts from 4-wheelers. Watch out for horses too. Very scenic trails. Aerobic difficulty depends on how many loops you do, but there are some challenging climbs that will wear you out. Probably not for beginners
