Our Favorite Arkansas Outdoor Blogs

We love reading what other people write about gear, trips and what they love to do outdoors. Here’s out roundup of some of our local favorite outdoor blogs — they’ll help you  experience what Northwest Arkansas has to offer.

Arklahoma Hiker

Written by a laywer, a CPA, and a media guru, this blog is an amazing resource of area hikes. Mike, Shelley and Brent write up in-depth recaps of hikes, complete with information about hike elevation, photos, and what trail conditions were like during their hikes. Shelley and Brent also have their own blogs but this is our go-to source for hike information because it’s just so exhaustive! Also be sure to check out their trail mapping tool that shows you hikes in your area that they’ve written about.

MidSouth Hiking

Written by a hiking enthusiast, Jeff, this blog recounts hiking adventures in the area as well as information about trails. There’s also a forum where you can discuss hikes you’ve gone on with other users and read posts from Jeff.
