Overview

The Syllamo Trail system is made up of five different trails that provide about 50 miles of single track for all different skill levels, as well as one of the most beautiful tours of the Ozark backcountry.

Bad Branch Loop (red loop): Beginner, 12 miles. Perferrably ridden clockwise.

Jacks Branch Loop (yellow loop): Beginner/Intermediate, 14 miles. Perferrably ridden counter clockwise.

Bald Scrappy Loop (orange loop): Intermediate, 7.3 miles, counter clockwise.

White River Bluff Loop (green loop): Intermediate/Difficult, 4.5 miles, counter clockwise. Often thought as the most scenic loop do to the high bluffs that are encountered.

Scrappy Mountain Loop (blue loop): Intermediate/Difficult, 12 miles, clockwise

Getting There

Expect a two-hour drive from Little Rock. Take I-40 W/US 65 N. Leave I-40 at exit 125, US 65 North. After about 40 miles, veer right onto AR-9. Follow AR-9 for 35 miles, until you reach the town of Mountain View. Here pick up AR-5/AR-14 North. Access the trails from several trailheads along or just off AR-5: Syllamo Trailhead on Arkansas Highway 5, the White River Bluff or Scrappy Mountain trailheads on Green Mountain Road.
