Back in the spring of 2016, I did a 10 mile hike on Section 3 (Polk County) of the Ouachita Trail starting at the Foran Gap Trailhead then going west on western Fourche Mountain to MM 63 and back.

My full profile of that stretch of the Ouachita Trail is here.

These are some additional photos from my April 23, 2016 hike.
