Arkansas Tech University-Ozark Campus is surrounded by a half-mile walking trail, the SGL Group Walking Trail, that features resting benches and nighttime lighting, along with a nine-hole disc golf course donated by the graduating class of 2011. The trail and course were designed to promote health and wellness for students, as well as the Ozark community. The walking trail was a result of the campus' first capital campaign, the "Path to Progress" campaign, and named after its lead donor, SGL Group: The Carbon Company.
