Warning: took me 9 hours to find a water source on the Eagle Rock loop because I trusted one old map
The spring marked on my 2019 printout near the 7 mile mark in the Ouachita was bone dry and I ended up walking 4 extra miles to a creek, so what's your go to source for current water info before a trip?
Wait, you walked 4 extra miles in the Ouachita heat with no water? That map straight up lied to you. I usually check recent trip reports on AllTrails or the forest service site before I go, old printouts will burn you every time.
