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[4] 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.[5]
