Hiking
This trailhead for the Ouachita National Recreation Trail is a scenic crossing point over the Talimena Scenic Byway for thru hikers, and a starting point for hikers to explore other trails in the area. There is a small trailhead sign, but no parking. However, there is a parking area a short distance away at the Deadman Vista Overlook. Due to the limited availability of water sources in the area, especially during dry seasons, it is an ideal spot to store water for the upcoming few miles until you reach Cedar Branch or Horsethief Spring.
