The OAC currently has 250+ members and several sponsors. Many families and individuals from out of state have joined the OAC. By making use of our internet website, email, and the OAC Forum, out of state members have the ability to keep up with Club activities, monthly meeting minutes and the current conditions of Ouachita Mountian trail riding. When the club has events, it may be a bit harder to attend and we understand this. The Directors make every effort to plan events and schedule work days as far in advance as possible. Our OAC club members can be found working on and enjoying riding various trails up and down western Arkansas, but as a club local to the Wolfpen Gap ATV Trail system, we usually concentrate our trail maintainence efforts here. We ask that our out of town/state members keep an eye on the announcement sections of the website and forum and make plans to attend as many club activities as you can and share the good times!
Don't be discouraged if you have no local club to join in your area, The OAC is a thriving atv club with many Club activities to participate in throughout the year.
