DAISY - Situated on the north shore of sparkling 7,000-acre Lake Greeson, Daisy State Park provides access to the Bear Creek Cycle Trail, a 31-mile one-way route that curves along the lakeshore, through creek bottoms and over rocky hills. The state park is one of four access points along this multi-use trail that was established in 1976 by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Arkansas Motorcycle Association. Although the trail was originally designed for off-road motorcycles and ATV's, with the advent of mountain bikes, the trail has become a popular destination for cyclists who want to explore the scenic beauty and rugged terrain of Arkansas's southernmost mountain range, the Ouachitas. This challenging trail is recommended for "sport" or "expert" class mountain bikers and not for beginners.
