Located a bit NE of Oden. USFS info. The Big Brushy Recreation Area parking lot is at 34.6851°N, 93.8102°W. No camping in the rec area, it is day use only now (despite USFS web page). The Ouachita trail passes through here, and this is one of the major trail heads at mile 94.5. There’s another OT trail head west on FR 76 at mile 87.7. In addition to the OT, there are 4 short trails that can be used to create various loop hikes (or bike rides). See Ouachita Trail map #13. Brushy Creek Trail, 3.66 mi. Brushy Mountain Trail, 1.23 mi. Rockhouse Trail, 1.76 mi. Mountain Top Trail, 1.11 mi. Jan ’16 trip.
