Review:
Davy Crockett National Forest is a multi-use federal area that includes recreational facilities. Besides recreation, the forest is also used for lumbering, oil drilling, hunting, and drilling for oil.
The more than 160,000 acres of mostly wooded land includes the Ratcliff Lake Recreation Area, which encompasses a 45-acre lake.
The Recreation Area houses most of the visitor amenities in the National Forest, including campgrounds, picnic areas, a swimming beach with bath house, and more. The lake is great for boating and fishing.
The Piney Creek Horse Trail features more than 50 miles of equestrian trails. Outside of the established campgrounds, dispersed camping is allowed in the forest during most of the year.
