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 that has broken away from a vertical wall of rock and stands apart in the shape of a chimney. Bluff rims, ridgetops, rock outcrops and steep slopes form natural vistas for enjoying the diverse topography and pine-hardwood clad mountains.
