Review:

Part of the Ouachita National Forest, the Winding Stair Mountain National Recreation Area encompasses more than 26,000 acres of land, including the Winding Stair Mountain, the Talimena Scenic Byway, and the 85-acre Cedar Lake. Visitors to the park are welcome to fish in the lake, enjoy a picnic at one of the picnic tables, and hunt for small game with the appropriate permits. There are also plenty of excellent hiking trails in the park, including a 45-mile section of the Ouachita National Recreation Trail. A small hike-in campground can be found on top of the Winding Stair Mountain.
