LITTLE ROCK — A ceremony is planned next week to officially open the Lake Ouachita Vista Trail.
The Tuesday ceremony will take place at the Avery Recreation Area at the Lake Ouachita Blakely Mountain Dam in Garland County.
The 40-mile-long trail system designed for mountain biking and hiking is the result of 10 years of planning, design and construction by a group of local, state and federal organizations.
The trail courses along the southern shores of Lake Ouachita over five mountains in the Ouachita National Forest.
