Little River County High Point Trip Report

To date these are two of the worst highpoint areas I have visited in Arkansas. If my first line hasn't deterred
you here is how you reach them.
From the intersection of Highways 41 and 234 drive south on Highway 41 for 2.1 miles to Little River
County Road 55. Drive east then south for 3.8 miles; at this point a faint road trace enters the woods on the
west side of the road (POSTED). Here is where you need a GPS to reach the highpoint. The highpoint area
is located 0.38 mile north-northwest of the road through lots of brush, vines, and dense thickets of young pines.
The highpoint is impossible to determine, so crash around through the brush and call it done.
The second area is reached by continuing south on Little River County Road 55 for 0.6 mile to a timber road
that goes east at a 90 degree turn. Continue on the county road for 0.6 mile to a timber road that goes east,
then turn on this road and continue 1 mile to an intersection with another timber road (you would have
ended up at this point if you went south instead of east at the last intersection) turn north onto this road a
drive 0.4 mile to another intersection, turn east and drive 0.4 mile to a crest and a cleared area and park.
The highpoint is located south of the road 0.2 mile in a wooded area (a lot easier access than the first area).
I passed an entire cow skeleton on the way to this highpoint, some rancher must have dumped it here.
There were several 'humps' near the highpoint area, these all appeared unnatural.
I left a highpoint register at the
base of cedar tree on the highpoint area. The register is a PVC pipe labeled as the highpoint register,
I may be the only person to ever sign this one.
