At 0.3 mile walking trail leads to a rocky
point called Castle Rock, from which a magnificent view stretches
in all directions. This is one of the highest points of the Ouachita
Mountains. At the parking area are some ancient ice pruned white
oak trees. The elfin, or dwarf, forest here shows the narrow transition
line between the dry scrub oak forest of the south slope and the
white-oak forest of the northslope.
