Overview

Located in the Boston Mountains of the Ozark National Forest, Payne Ridge Road is a delightful trail that follows along the Payne Ridge in the heart of the forest. The drive along the ridgeline offers the opportunity for views of the thick, colorful Ozark hardwoods. The trail is near the unincorporated and very rural Victor, Arkansas, which was formally named Morning Shade, Arkansas. Payne Ridge Road is popular with hunters in the fall season because of its ease of access. Payne Ridge Road is a choice route if you desire to explore through the Ozark Mountains while looking to avoid pavement.
