Fern Rock Climbing Directions
Fern Rock Climbing Area:
FROM FORT SMITH:
Take I-40 east. Take the Mulberry exit, exit 24, for Hwy 215. Go north on 215 for exactly 10 miles. Once you enter the town of Fern you will pass a small church then an A-Frame house on the right. You will take the next dirt county road on the right, after the house. Follow the county road for 1.3 miles to a turn off with a large mud puddle right at the entrance. It looks like it dead ends, but actually turns to left just after the mud holes (ok, if you are in a car or vehicle with low clearance I'd park here at the entrance and proceed the rest of the way on foot). From here follow the dirt road down the hill for .2 miles, take the first sharp left. Then take the first right, you will park just after the first right. You can see logs and rocks lining the path down to the bluff. Just be sure to leave room for the next climber to park. I have never been there, so if anybody has better directions, let me know.
