Wildcat Mountain Area

General:    The Wildcat Mountain Trail is a hiking/bike trail located in the eastern Ouachita Mountains off the Winona Scenic Drive (FR 142), near hwy 9.  It is a loop trail and, depending on where you shortcut the loop, you can make it shorter by taking several alternative connections.   The whole loop is officially 8.8 miles but I just clocked at 8.55 miles using a GPS (Garmin 60csx).
