Hey everyone! My family and I are new to hammock hanging. We went a couple of weeks ago for an overnighter. Ready to do some more this next week. Any suggestions of good places?

Welcome to the forums, from LRAFB. Lots of great hanging around here.

If you go West out of Little Rock on Cantrell/10 all the way out to Perry County, take 9 South toward Paron.

There's a parking area on the left at a trailhead. I forget the name of it but it goes both ways, back East toward Deltic Farm lands or West to Lake Winona in Ouachita National Forest.

Like was said before, there are a lot of great places west of HWY 9 or if you want to drive a little farther the Ozarks and Buffalo River area is not too far off. Are you looking more for primitive type camping or campgrounds with amenities? Lot's of great places to choose from either way.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to go check it out.

I prefer primitive but I'm having to slowly get my family involved, so some places with a few amenities would be nice too.

I would love to plan a kayaking trip for a few days and fish and camp along the way.
