Steven Parker, Trail Maintenance Coordinator for the Ozark Highlands Trail Association, gives listeners an overview of the Ozark Highlands Trail - including logistics of planning a hike, best times to enjoy the trail and tips on making the most of your hike. We also discuss what it takes to maintain the trail and the things all hikers can do to support trail maintenance. The Ozark Highlands Trail Association (OHTA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit all-volunteer organization that was founded in 1981 to build, maintain, and enjoy the Ozark Highlands Trail (OHT). When complete, the OHT will stretch 320 miles across northern Arkansas from Lake Fort Smith State Park to Lake Norfork – where it will connect to the Ozark Trail in Missouri.
