About
Deer Tower Trailhead is a primitive access point in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest in Newton County, Arkansas, designed primarily for equestrian users. It provides a rustic starting point for exploring 17 miles of trails through the scenic and rugged Ozark Mountains. The trail system is composed of three interconnected loop trails that offer horse riders a challenging backcountry experience. This is a day-use trailhead, not an overnight campground. The USFS indicates there are no restrooms, no potable water, and no developed facilities at this location. Horse riders looking for overnight accommodations should seek out nearby developed campgrounds in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest that offer equestrian facilities.
