Ozark Highlands Trail - Lick Branch Trailhead

The Ozark Highlands Trail (OHT) is one of the country's best long-distance hiking trails. It is well-known for its winter trekking chances when many other paths are impassable. It is located in the midst of the South. The best time to visit this trail is from the fall until the spring. The OHT, which has been featured in National Geographic Magazine, The Guardian, and Backpacker Magazine, offers 270 miles of hiking and trekking across some of the region's most difficult and spectacular terrain. The trail is marked with 2′′x6′′ white markers that are attached to a tree about eye level and positioned vertically. A 12′′ piece of carsonite post angled horizontally and affixed to a tree near eye level and facing the trail serves as a mile marker. The map locations can be found on the webpage.
