Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Found in Mount Ida’s Womble Ranger District, Crystal Vista is the first developed area for crystal collecting in the Ouachita National Forest. It is a stunning area atop Gardner Mountain and overlooks the town and Lake Ouachita to the north, as well as scenic mountains to the south. There is an area for parking at the foot of the mountain, along with a trail to the Crystal Vista. Visitors should be prepared for a moderate uphill hike that takes around twenty minutes. The area is a great place for children to have fun looking for white quartz and small crystals.
