Map showing the location of the Jackfork trailhead

Location: The trailhead at Pinnacle Mountain State Park is just west of the visitor center on the south side of the parking lot.

GPS: 34.844384, -92.463771

Total length: 6.5 miles, but if the many switchbacks get boring, hikers can easily cut it shorter.

Main attractions: This is a seldom-hiked section of the park for those who want something different. The dirt trail begins flat and wide but quickly turns rocky.

Hazards: None

Dog, bike, tyke friendly? Dogs and bikes will love this trail. Little kids, not so much. Take them to the nearby flat and fun Rabbit Ridge Trail.
