Cove Creek
UNORGANIZED TRAIL SYSTEM
Cove Creek is a creek running through North Arkansas. In this article, we will be going over a small portion of Cove Creek that people have begun to use for its off-road vehicle compatibility.
​
This small portion is not organized by any person, government, or other entity; this means there are a lot less rules, less riders but also means no map, no restrooms, no trail guides, just us. We actually couldn't find anything on this portion of Cove Creek online.

RESTRICTIONS

No Known Restrictions
This is an unorganized trail, meaning it has no governing body (other than the county it resides in) to make restrictions.
THE EXPERIENCE
Some Rocks
In most cases to get to and from the creek bed, you will end up climbing rocks, although uncomfortable they are not very difficult to tackle.

Creek Crossings
The entire trail area keeps you within walking distance of the creek bed, and some trails will cross the creek.
.png)
Mud Pits
Every trail has some mud, some more than others. These mud pits vary in depth, with some being an easy coast through and some likely requiring a winch or a buddy with a rope.

High Speed Gravel
There are long, empty gravel roads that will give your rig plenty of space to rev up and put the power down.

EXTRA INFORMATION
.png)
Distance Unknown
These trails are created by other riders, with no governing body, so the total distance is unknown, as no one has currently mapped the trail. There are gravel roads that are mapped, but the trails themselves have not been mapped.

Multi-Use
This trail, again, has no governing body so other hobbyists such as swimmers, hikers, fishermen, etc have also found it to be a good place to practice their hobbies as well. Keep an eye out for them, and please don't drive through water people are trying to fish in.
Not Busy Trail
This is a lesser known trail leading to it being significantly less busy than other more popular trails, although this can be a blessing and a curse, if you like riding alone it's a huge plus but if you break down or get injured there is a much lower chance of help arriving in time.

Extremely Poor Connection
Verizon and T-Mobile have some extreme connection issues; in most cases, not making any connection whatsoever. Other major networks have not been tested but are assumed to perform similarly.

Trailer Appropriate
A trailer would do fine on these trails, given your rig can get it through the mud and creek beds.
