Russellville, AR Real Estate, Homes For Sale, School & Area Information

I am a lucky lady to have such beautiful and serene areas so close to home. Moving from Texas, which is beautiful in its own way, to Arizona, I am blown away by the scenery on a daily basis. Moccasin Gap is no exception. It has an extensive trail system rated for your level of expertise or comfort, as well as a camping area (RV and horse trailer) and a day-use parking area. The trail system here is well-marked and well-maintained. I personally trail ride, but ORV's are also allowed. The views and overlooks are stunning with water crossings and waterfalls as well! I cannot wait to go back!

Hummingbirds are more active during the month of August, their antics, speed and quick easy grace keep us all mesmerized.
