Comment on Ouachita National Recreation Trail – Trip Report by admin

Depending on rain, water can be an issue on the ONRT. By september, you may be OK. The longest dry stretches tend to be 10 or so miles at most usually, so if you can cover 20 miles per day, you should be fine. I would highly recommend the trail guide book by Tim Ernst, as it has exact details on water sources on that trail. You an find it at http://www.timernst.com

Thanks!

Thank-you for the heads up. I am planning to hike the trail in September. Any and all advice from those who have hiked it would be appreciated. Is there water every 24 hours? I can cover 20 miles a day and 27 in a pinch, and I can carry plenty of food but water is vital.

Sincerely

Thanks for the 2 posts on McGee Creek. There’s a dearth of information about this place. I wish I’d known about it sooner! I hope to take a weekend backpacking trip there. BTW, you should tag this one “McGee Creek” like the backpacking post…

Thanks! Very helpful review. Have been looking for a thorough review of the fundamentals as I am trying to find an ultra light stove and thought that this could be the one for me.

Great article! Sounds like you guys had a blast. Hiking with children can be difficult, but your kids clearly had a great time, so kudos to you.

I definitely share your frustration with finding decent gear for kids. A friend of mine (also an avid outdoors person) recommended a website called Tiny Trekker that specializes primarily in quality outdoor gear for kids. I’ve made a few purchases since discovering them and I’ve been very satisfied with the products and service, so I’d highly recommend giving them a try next time you’re in the market.

Keep the great reviews coming, and maybe one day we’ll cross paths on the trail.

Those are two great comments! If you can get the kids excited about hiking, it makes everything much easier. I am looking forward to your next trip report.
