Lake Ouachita Vista Biking Trail is designed to provide a way to enjoy the beauty of Lake Ouachita.
The trail begins at Denby Bay and follows the hilly shoreline for approximately five miles where it terminates at the entrance to the US Corp of Engineers Thompkins Bend Campground.
The first 2.5 miles has been rated blue by IMBA with several long grades
that dip into hollows covered in old growth high canopies. The last 2.5
miles truly hugs the lake with multiple high vistas of the Lake. You will
enjoy the steep drop on "Ole Breathless" a 20% grade into Hush Hollow a
serene moss and fern lined hollow where the only sound you will hear is the
stucco of the Great Pileated Woodpecker or a fussy chickadee. You can look
for the Coon Tree Hotel an old growth Oak Tree that Raccoons love to sleep
in or find the Squirrel Head Tree. When you finish coast on down to the
Shangri-La Resort for some of their famous homemade pies.
