Not allowed.
Trail Notes:
The trail corridor is well marked with red arrows and is easy to follow due to a lot of use. It's
rough, rocky, and has several steep hills. Make sure your horse is in pretty good shape. The
scenery is beautiful. I don't know why it has this problem, but this trail is known far and wide
as being exceptionally bad for ticks. My own experience, as well as everyone I've talked to,
says that it's the only irritating part of the trail. Be sure to bring GOOD insect repellent.
Deep woods stuff, 100% Deet is the best.
Squaw's Revenge Trail is marked with green arrows and blazes in a clockwise direction, this
moderate loop trail takes trail users through forested hills to bluff tops above the lake. The
trail is also used for a portion of the Trail of Four Winds, which is marked with red arrows
and blazes. Be aware of the signs to keep you on the correct trail. Squaw’s Revenge Trail is
used for regularly scheduled horseback rides, so if you meet a group of riders, please move
off the trail, stand quietly and let them pass. There's also a Civil War era cemetery along this
trail. The trailhead is located behind the Ozark Homestead Riding Stables.
