Poteau Mountain Wilderness

Located in the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas.

Comprised of two separate land bases, totaling 11,299 acres, this wilderness is on Poteau Mountain, a subrange of the Ouachitas. Although erosion has played its part, extensive folding and faulting have produced the steep east-west mountain ridges which range from 750 to 2,406 feet above sea level. Dense pine and hardwood stands occupy the areas. There are no trails within either portion of the Poteau Mountain Wilderness.

Directions: From junction of State Hwy. 80 and U.S. 71, go north on U.S. 71 for 5.6 miles, turn left (west) on Forest Road 158 for 2 miles to the southern boundary.
