Byrd's Adventure Center
Byrd's Adventure Center is a 500-acre private adventure resort and off-road park along the Mulberry River in Franklin County, Arkansas: near Ozark in the Boston Mountains of the Ozark National Forest region, combining whitewater paddling access, OHV trail riding, camping, lodging, and on-site dining into a full-spectrum outdoor recreation destination that sets it apart from the single-discipline OHV parks elsewhere in Arkansas. The Mulberry River frontage is the defining feature: the property sits along a scenic stretch of the Mulberry, one of Arkansas's premier whitewater rivers during spring runoff season, and the river access makes Byrd's a shared destination for paddlers, riders, and riverside campers, the multi-activity mix produces a more social and mixed-use atmosphere than a pure riding park. The OHV trail system covers 30+ miles of designated routes on the property and links into broader Ozark National Forest access on the adjacent federal land. The Boston Mountains terrain is characteristic Ozark highlands: sandstone bluffs, mixed hardwood forest of oak, hickory, and maple, steep creek drainages cutting through the ridge topography, and the dramatic topographic relief that distinguishes the Boston Mountains from the rolling Ozark Plateau to the north. ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes, and 4x4 trucks are all accommodated on appropriate trails. Full-service camping with hookups, RV sites, and cabin rentals operate year-round; the on-site restaurant and general store support the multi-day destination character.
