Black Fork Mountain Wilderness

Located in the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas.

Black Fork Mountain, at an elevation of 2,403 feet, is the scenic attraction of this 13,579-acre area. Rock screes or flows are dominant features along the east-west ridge formed by the geologic uplift. Slopes range from five percent at the base to almost vertical near the top. This area offers diverse shrub and tree species and special scenic values due to variation in topography.

The Ouachita Trail runs along the east side of the mountain. There is no developed trail in the Oklahoma portion of the wilderness, but a parking area is provided 2 miles north of Page on County Road 1040.
