Dry Creek Wilderness

Located in the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas.

Numerous ridges and high bluffs rise above an intermittent stream in this rugged scenic 6,310-acre area. The area is located south of the Arkansas River Valley in the Ouachita Mountain Region. A unique feature, Chimney Rock, is a large rock formation which has broken away from a vertical wall of rock and stands apart in the shape of a chimney. Bluff rims, ridgetops, rock out-crops and steep slopes form natural vistas for enjoying the diverse topography and pine-hardwood clad mountains.

Directions: From the junction of State Hwy. 10 and 23, go east for 17 miles on State Hwy.10, turn right (south) on county road 309 for 5 miles, continue (south) on Forest Road 18 for 3.9 miles, turn right (west) on Forest Road 3 for 4 miles to wilderness boundary.
