Have you tried Eagle rock loop?
Yes, I've hiked both areas. The Ouachita Trail through the Kiamichi Wilderness, in my opinion, is one of the highlights of the trail. I did it in the spring with the wildflowers in bloom and the butterflies floating. That was a tough climb up Rich Mountain before topping off on a bench just below the scenic highway that leads to the lodge. Oh, yes, we sampled the lodge's restaurant food just to reassure ourselves we were back in civilization.
