This is the home page for the volunteer organization that built and maintains the 165-mile Ozark Highlands Trail in northwest Arkansas. All of our outings, meetings and work trips are open to the public and there is never any charge. You can keep up with all of these activities by reading the online newsletter. There is some general information about the Ozark Highlands Trail, along with an overall map, and also a link to the online store where you can purchase guidebooks, maps, and other outdoor publications. There is also information about hike ratings and hiker responsibilities, plus a links page for other outdoor clubs and web sites of interest.
