We've designed a challenging and scenic course for a quick round in between sets at Wakarusa!

The Ozark Highlands Trail, rated one of the most scenic hiking trails in the country, is easily accessed from Mulberry Mountain. Enjoy an afternoon trip to the waterfalls on mountain creek or take a hike along the Mulberry River for great views of the Ozark Mountains. No matter where you tread you are sure to see some of the most amazing sites the forest has to offer.

Note: An Arkansas fishing license is required to fish on these lakes. In late spring and early summer, the river is an excellent choice when angling for smallmouth, largemouth, and spotted bass or green and longear sunfish. The potholes can be fished during drier months, but getting to them may require hiking along a slippery streambed.

The mini-lakes at Mulberry Mountain are kept stocked with a variety of fish. Turner Bend Outfitter and general store is located just four miles south of Mulberry Mountain. They offer canoe, kayak, and raft rentals on the Mulberry River. Turner Bend has been outfitting the Mulberry River for 28 years. The Mulberry River can be an easy Class I river or can be challenging whitewater depending on recent rainfall.

The weather in June usually brings highs in the mids and lows in the mids, so it will most likely be very pleasant at Wakarusa. That being said, it never hurts to pack warm clothes and rain gear.

Wakarusa promotes a Recycalusa program, with different colored barrels and trash bags to separate trash and recyclables. Attendees will be given two different bags for their campsites as well; blue for recycling and black for trash and food waste. Attendees can pick up more bags at any information booth or at the Recycalusa booth. Full bags will be picked up daily when placed at the nearest black-top road.

The Recycalusa program also recommends using reusable water bottles or canteens rather than single-use bottles, coolers instead of Styrofoam, reusuable tablewear, and ashtrays. If attendees have glass bottles, the Recycalusa program asks that they take them home and recycle them there.
