However, when we took a ride there, we discovered from parts of the Wolf pen Gap ATV Trail to be difficult…to a point that even the best of us were struggling to make it. When you’re trying to organize an ATV trip, go with people who are of the same skill level as you. if not, make sure that there’s an experienced ATV rider who is willing to lead the beginners on this ATV trail while the others can challenge themselves at parts of the trail that is more challenging.

Some parts of the ATV trail is marked closed – there’s a reason for it, so, please do not ride the parts that are marked closed. The Wolf Pen Gap ATV Trail of Arkansas is open all year round but they do close during deer hunting season for safety reasons.
