The Ouachita Triple Crown route was first mapped by Kenny Williams in 2019. He wanted to link together three International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) Epic Trails into one epic bikepacking route. When connected by gravel roads, the Ouachita Trail (OT), the Womble Trail, and the Lake Ouachita Vista Trail (LOViT) create a circle around Lake Ouachita.
IMBA Epic Trails are the best of the best, and Arkansas has more of them that any other state. The Ouachita Mountains, composed of rocky ridges and narrow, spring cooled valleys, is the perfect landscape for an IMBA Epic Trail. The mountains are wild, beautiful, and rugged.
