Just wanted to let you know that I’m just getting into “overlanding” with my family. Your videos have inspired me to go explore the Ozarks and you sharing your routes and locations is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing all of this!
I am so glad I found your channel. I'm from Louisiana but lived in Arkansas for 7 years. During that time I fell in love with the Ozarks, especially the Richland creek area. I'm back in Louisiana now but I come up every year. Mostly just to camp and hike. I'm just now getting into overlanding. I've been building out my Tacoma and it's time to put it through it's paces. I'm so excited to hit these trails when I come back in October/November. Seriously, awesome channel!!!
I appreciate the advice you gave in the video. I also enjoyed the photography. I drive my Subaru Outback in the Ozarks & Ouachitas. I understand my limitations & don't do anything too technical. But I still get good ideas & learn things from your videos. Thanks for sharing!
I’m coming up this week to investigate the Ozarks for the first time in the JL! If anyone wants to join, I’m doing a few trails on Thursday. Great info in these videos - thank you!
Love the video! Just got to the area and hit the trail from Snowball. Got through the easier water crossing, but right as I was getting to the campground my power steering rack failed. 🤦🏻♂️ Sadly, it’s been recently showing subtle signs of failure. Getting buttoned up now and excited to see more of Arkansas!
Took the fam up there for Labor day in our LR3. We loved it! Great trails and lots of water! Really need to get deep into the trails maps and find some locals next time. The humidity was rough in the Roof top tent. Planning another trip up there in Oct.
Great first day! I was amazed to see the ELK at Snow Ball. The wife and I usually take 4-5 days in October and usually start at Snow Ball and end at my Buddies home in Oark. A few years back the gym was all decorated up for Halloween the wife loved it. I have never been to the narrows I will definitely add that to the route. I appreciate the time and effort you put into the videos. I wish I had half the knowledge you have of the Gaia GPS, but thanks to you being a great teacher I am learning slowly.
Thank you so much for creating this route and making the video. I am from new jersey, and I'm on the way back from Colorado Utah road trip. I have a few days to experience the Ozarks and having routes that I know will be passable, open and especially having some Primark campsites will be super helpful. Cheers!
Thanks for doing this for everyone. I come over from Oklahoma and i been exploring roads on my own using gaia maps and TH-cam but your vids will be a great help. I look forward to your following vids. 👍
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures we are planning to go BUT I work at a high school and with covid and all that our football schedule is whack. Once homecoming dates are final I will know if we can go. Fingers crossed they finalize dates this week so I can make plans
I’m really looking forward to this series. I haven’t run trails in the Ozarks, but I’ve driven trails through Ouachita NF a few times and have experienced plenty of dead ends that looked like through-routes on maps/gps.
Can we do this the week prior to MOORE expo next year, please? :D We could pull in Arkansas Offroad and Overland Addict plus your normal crew. It would be epic!
Hey! Husband and I are starting our overland adventures from here in Texas! Thanks for the great content we are enjoying your channel! Maybe we met up on trail some time !!
These trails look amazing. I was invited to go in the middle of October next month. You think my chevy 1500 with a 6inch lift would fit on these trails? I've upgraded the truck for search and rescue and off-road recoveries, 4wd with 12k winch and all.
colorado was my first jeep trip . so right about how easy it is to find trails. im trying to plan a trip to arkansas . im louisiana and never been to arkansas
Planning a trip to overland in Arkasas this spring and don't know the area well. Do you have any maps that are fairly beginner with some nice swimming or fishing holes? Nothing too technical or deep water crossings.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures More or less...any chance you'll do a video for us "newbies" something geared on "tips" like... packing, knowing the trails and what to expect...and my biggest question...are these trails one way? I wouldn't want to be on a one lane trail and have to navigate the lane with someone coming at me with no way to get around...I've researched and not seen anyone who talks about the trails as a whole. Loving your vids and excited to see the trails in Missouri one day...Thanks for sharing! Cheers.
Lily Avery I will definitely make some of those videos. Great ideas. To answer the one question, all trails are two way. There’s usually enough room for two rigs to squeeze around each other.
My father and my uncle would love to do this but I have a couple questions what set up to you prefer and is it legal to take a four-wheeler on these trails
Most of this isn't legal for 4wheelers. I would recommend a small lift and at least 33" tires for the more technical spots. Recovery gear is always recommended.
What size tires are being ran here? Trying to compare so I have an idea if my Raptor on 35's is gonna make it across some of those water crossings you show.
So, if we wanted to do a 2-3 day run instead of a 5 day run, which portion would you think would be the best portion to run and which portion would you skip out on? I have two kids that need to get out and explore every once in a while so driving sometimes has to take a back seat to playing! Thanks in advance for any help!
Map says I don’t have permission to see it. Really looking forward to this series as I’m looking at an ozark trip this late fall and need ideas where to go. Thanks for the work you put into these videos.
I have been thinking about a camping trip down to the Ozarks and Ouichita NF over New Years. This video make me a little nervous with all the water crossings. I’ve never been down there, anyone know what the trails tend to be like this time of year? I’ve got a xterra lifted 2 inches, breathers but no snorkel.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for someone to post. I have a ram 1500 with a leveling kit on 35s and snorkel. Do you think I could make it through this route? Dont cars about dings or scratches
The Colorado trip was well filmed too. Really enjoyed that series. I can't get over the maps you use showing your routes, what software or map system do you use in these videos?
Hey guys, I see someone in your group has a Rubuicom (Maybe a 10yr Ann. model like me?) Question: the roof rack mountd only in the middle and back v. all the way to the front. What make/model is that roof rack? I have a Bestop retractable top over the drivers/pass seats so I need what he has! :) THANK YOU for any info you can share!
This is great to see as I live in northwest Arkansas, and would really like to drive these trails. Although when I did try the link for gaia "you do not have permission" popped up. I am ok with scratches on my jeep as it is the way of national forest trails.. I have some friends that could enjoy the wider trails and this would get them out of the house and their jeeps away from mall parking lots.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Thank you for taking the time to to help out. It's working great now, and I am already looking to see what is next on the adventure list.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I got the opportunity last weekend to run some of the trails that you had uploaded, and want to say thank you for taking the time to do it. It helped me kind of figure out where I could take my friends in their new rigs and have a good time too.
I was checking the routes you posted. I am new to this and this may be a dumb question but what are the different colored lines and what do they mean? There's green, purple, red and yellow.
Nice work! Drone shots are very good! Was it just the two of you at this point? How can you drive and fly the drone at the same time? I also clicked on the Gaia link and it said I don't have permission to access it after logging into their site. This is really well done... thanks for sharing your adventure.
Thanks!! It was just the two of us on this day. More join us on Day 2 which comes out tonight at 7:30. Flying the drone while driving isn't easy!! LOL. I steer a lot with my knee. Try the gaia link again. It should be working now.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures thanks, going to watch the videos. I used to wheel alot when stationed in alaska but havent done any since living back in illinois. Want to take the boys on an overland trip. This looks like it would work.
Well if i am going to start doing this i just need to get used to them. My truck is 9-10yrs old not many scratches though, but it is a truck after all.
I’m limited by how much of this trail my rig is capable of (1st gen Sequoia +3 on 33’s, but if you’re every interested in making a multi day run, gimme a holler. I live in these woods.
Thanks!! No drone issues in the Ozarks. You just can’t fly it in the Buffalo River area and the Richland Creek Wilderness area. But the road at Richland Creek is outside the wilderness area so you should be fine as long as you don’t hike in with it.
@@philbobaggins2183 just watch the weather. As long as it hasn’t rained a bunch before your trip you should be ok. Don’t be worried about turning around if it’s too high. That’s part of the adventure.
Hmm. I just tried the link and it works fine. You can also join the Ozark Overland Adventure Trail Facebook group and it's in the files section there as well.
Matt if your doing a traverse type trail, I’m kinda surprised you put 1424 up to buck knob on this. It’s gonna cause issues /damage for a stockish or full size rig on those ledges, same for the loop off Morgan mt. Into spy rock with those ruts/ mudholes and rocks.It’s great having some difficulty thrown in but it would be bad to see a trip ruined due to damage. Kinda hate to see a lot of this put out there , it’s gonna be like the old high water mark trail that a lot of this follows, in that it’s gonna really get a lot of folks on it, but I assume that’s the goal. But at least you did stop short on some good camps ,but they will also soon become popular I’m sure . I just hate to see this area get more over run than it already is. But good job on the video quality and drone work
Dave Lay yeah I totally understand your concerns and have the same myself. However I have gotten so tired of people floundering around the Ozarks and running illegal trails and not having a clue that I thought it would be best to lay out some of the more well traveled areas for people to have. From there they can learn to explore on their own. Those areas you talk about around Spy Rock, etc, have bypasses around the more technical sections and the videos will help show people what they are getting into so they can decide if they are up for it or not. That’s also why I wanted to run this with a mix of rigs to show how it can be done. My hope is that this helps the Ozarks rather that hurt them. Time will tell if I was right or not. I hope that makes sense.
I agree on folks running illegal, I’m not sure if that will ever stop and as you know the sxs crew is is the worst of them all. And , We do need to police from within As you noted . I do hope folks will make a educated decision on to run or not run and not blindly just follow the track. I’d hate to see a inexperienced guy in his new 4 runner of full-size rig drop off into spy hollow or such. You did a good job of cautioning about water levels I hope they listen . I guess I worry to much about others, but I have seen so many people mess up nice rigs and have done way to many trail fixes over a lot of years of doing this Stuff and rock crawling Thanks man. Looking forward to the other videos !
Dave Lay I really appreciate your heart in this. I promise to handle that video (day 4) with great caution and educate people along the way. We are very like minded.
I fully agree Matt And thanks. I know we both fight for keeping the trails open and spend way to much time picking up other people’s trash I hope to run up on ya and maybe share a campfire one day. I’ll be the old guy in the Built beater Jeep or The 100 series land cruiser Take care Matt
Ozark Overland Adventures I was one click away from registration but all the guided trail was full , do you think I can squeeze in , or are you running your own trails
Ozark Overland Adventures Done ! I just finished the registration, And looking forward to meet up with you , save a spot for me please in your routes , I will be driving from Orlando and really eager to trail in the Ozark .. thank you

Can't wait to see all 5 parts. Planning a 3 day trip in October and looking for some trails.
Awesome! October is a great time for the Ozarks!
Great video. New to the area and just what I was looking for. Thank you for putting this together and the Gaia routes.

get out there. It's amazing! And thank you.
Nice video Matt just finished the 1st one can’t wit to watch the others, keep up the good work..
THANKS!!!
Very nice! It’s cool to see places I’ve been along your route, and places I wasn’t aware of that are now on my list to find.
There's still so much I had to leave off this route. I could have easily made it a 10 day trip.

Are there guided tours? If not, what do you recommend for a first-timer. I drive a Ram 2500 with 35s. Decent ground clearance.
Great job Matt. Thanks for sharing.

These trails look amazing. I was invited to go in the middle of October next month. You think my chevy 1500 with a 6inch lift would fit on these trails? I've upgraded the truck for search and rescue and off-road recoveries, 4wd with 12k winch and all.
I think you’ll be fine. You’ll definitely get some scratches.
colorado was my first jeep trip . so right about how easy it is to find trails. im trying to plan a trip to arkansas . im louisiana and never been to arkansas
Outstanding❗👍💯🏆🚙🌲
Planning a trip to overland in Arkasas this spring and don't know the area well. Do you have any maps that are fairly beginner with some nice swimming or fishing holes? Nothing too technical or deep water crossings.
In the spring will be difficult to avoid deep water crossings. That's our rainy season and it's just part of wheeling in the Ozarks in the Spring.

You should be fine then. Water levels are typically low but that’s not a guarantee. Just watch the weather the week before the trip.
I've been waiting to do the snowball Richland Creek area. It's close to our place. But we always end up riding a different area.
It’s a beautiful area.

Aleks Vicentic I think you’ll be fine on this one. I designed it to be friendly for most rigs. It’s will be tight in a few places but should be ok.
The Colorado trip was well filmed too. Really enjoyed that series. I can't get over the maps you use showing your routes, what software or map system do you use in these videos?
Thanks so much! The maps are from an app called Relive. I love it!
How do you think this route would be in the Springtime? Would it be too wet for some of the water crossings?
Matt Bleakley the Ozarks in the Spring is always a challenge. Some of the crossings would be dangerous. You just have to watch the rainfall.
Is it any orher way to go around the water crossing to get to that campground. I would like to explore those areas in a motorcycle.
Great adventure
Hey guys, I see someone in your group has a Rubuicom (Maybe a 10yr Ann. model like me?) Question: the roof rack mountd only in the middle and back v. all the way to the front.

That’s also why I wanted to run this with a mix of rigs to show how it can be done. My hope is that this helps the Ozarks rather that hurt them. Time will tell if I was right or not. I hope that makes sense.
I agree on folks running illegal, I’m not sure if that will ever stop and as you know the sxs crew is is the worst of them all. And , We do need to police from within As you noted . I do hope folks will make a educated decision on to run or not run and not blindly just follow the track. I’d hate to see a inexperienced guy in his new 4 runner of full-size rig drop off into spy hollow or such. You did a good job of cautioning about water levels I hope they listen . I guess I worry to much about others, but I have seen so many people mess up nice rigs and have done way to many trail fixes over a lot of years of doing this Stuff and rock crawling
Thanks man. Looking forward to the other videos !
Dave Lay I really appreciate your heart in this. I promise to handle that video (day 4) with great caution and educate people along the way. We are very like minded.
I fully agree Matt And thanks. I know we both fight for keeping the trails open and spend way to much time picking up other people’s trash
I hope to run up on ya and maybe share a campfire one day. I’ll be the old guy in the Built beater Jeep or The 100 series land cruiser
Take care Matt
Dave Lay that sounds awesome!! Let’s make it happen. Will you be at Rendezvous in the Ozarks next month?
How long is the OOAT?
Hooked!
Really hoping that your routes are documented. This is doable for me.
Sean the link to the route is in the video description.
Have you ever thought about taking people on tours ? I mean...other than us here on YT? :) Great Job!
I get that request a lot. The forest service makes it difficult to do anything officially. Thanks!
What do you run as tire pressure on these trails?
15psi
How do we access the full route. States we don't have permission.
The link should be working now.
I went to Cass job corps in ozark i want to over-land now
It's awesome!! Get out and start exploring.
Part 2 part 2!! 😂
Loki’s RC Life coming soon.
How much of this can be done on two wheels?
Ozark ADV depending on how deep the water crossings are I would say all of it.
The map doesn't work anymore, any idea why?
I updated the link from Gaia to a GPX file. That should help.
How can i open this map on my iphone?
i miss these gas prices. especially as an owner of a lifted 4Runner.
Do you have this route on GAIA that you can share?
It’s in the video description
For some reason I cannot access the trip file in the link..
Eat Westy try again. Gaia keeps changing it back to private.
What happened to the map? I was just looking at it and now it says I don't have permission?
It works now. Must have been a glitch. Great work BTW!
Gaia was having issues. Glad you found it.
I would use medium grade gas. You will get better gas mileage.
I may try that. I've just always used Regular.
i love the song that was playing what was the name of it ?
Which one? There were two songs in this video.
the first one
How to find this trail on giaia GPS?
Link is in the video description.
