Arkansas

Arkansas's natural beauty and history are showcased and preserved in the 52 Arkansas museums and parks of the Arkansas State Parks system, six National Park Service sites, three national forests covering more than 2.9 million acres of Arkansas, plus more than 200 Arkansas camping sites and recreational areas.

For those interested in a round of golf, the Natural State's offerings include world-class, scenic courses. And, in Arkansas, “an afternoon at the track” can have any of several meanings: thoroughbred horse racing, greyhound dog racing, or dirt track and drag racing.

Take a deep breath of cool Ozark or Ouachita mountain air. Revel in the breeze crossing one of Arkansas’s great lakes. Enjoy a relaxed family float trip or the thrill of a whitewater or rock climbing adventure. Journey one of 250 hiking trails that collectively stretch more than 1,500 miles. Get away from it all in more than 2.9 million acres in three national forests.

Travelers seeking a romantic getaway will find cozy cottages stocked to meet every need. Often tucked in the Ozark and Ouachita mountains, rustic but fully furnished cabins also offer great escapes. Bed and breakfasts can be found in communities both large and small, and can be housed in modern structures or restored Victorian mansions.

Discover Arkansas. It’s the natural state.
