Seen on the Trail

Wind through the ASUMH campus and beyond on the James and Sally Moore Recreational Trail, a 3.3-mile paved loop that has become a favorite gathering place for walkers, runners, and cyclists throughout the Twin Lakes Area. Starting from the eastern lot of ASU-Mountain Home, the accessible, flat pathway winds past public sculptures featured in the Mountain Home Art Walk, ducks beneath the Highway 62/412 bypass, and connects to McCabe Park's fishing ponds, ball fields, and the Shirley Baker Nature Trail.

Solar lighting keeps the route safe and welcoming for early morning or evening use, while ongoing ADA-compliant improvements continue to link the trail to community spaces like the Baxter County Library and the Mountain Home Community Center. Leashed dogs are welcome, making it a favorite spot for neighbors of all kinds to get outside, get moving, and enjoy everything ASUMH and Mountain Home have to offer.

Our goal is to promote environmental awareness allowing riparian vegetation to grow to create a more natural environment and protect the riparian area on and around trail on the ASUMH campus and along Dodd Creek in Mountain Home, AR.

We are letting the area along the Trail grow naturally to help the environment in the following ways:

• Trap sediment from rainwater before it reaches the stream;

• Strengthen soil and protects stream banks from enrosion;

• Help dissipate flood energy from the stream;

• Provide food and shelter for aquatic and terrestrial organisms.
