Billy Creek Recreation Area
The camping area lies along a small stream, which provides a great spot to fish for sunfish in the small pools.
Billy Creek Trail starts here and climbs to the top of Winding Stair Mountain. The trail intersects the Ouachita National Recreation Trail, which travels east from Talimena State Park in Oklahoma to Pinnacle Mountain State Park in Arkansas for 225 miles.
