ARKANSAS

Uncover the Natural State’s Treasures

Nestled in the heart of the American South, Arkansas invites visitors to explore its rich tapestry of history, culture, and Southern hospitality. From the historic streets of Little Rock—home to the Clinton Presidential Library—to the antebellum charm of the Delta’s Arkansas City, the state weaves a story of Civil War heritage and civil rights milestones. Art aficionados can wander through the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, which showcases masterpieces in a stunning woodland setting, while music lovers will appreciate the blues legacy preserved in Helena’s King Biscuit Blues Festival.

Beyond its storied past, Arkansas is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Towering peaks and sparkling rivers define the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, where Searcy Creek and the Buffalo National River offer world‑class kayaking, fishing, and tubing. Hikers can tackle the iconic trails of Petit Jean State Park or witness the cascading beauty of Cedar Falls. Meanwhile, thermal springs in Hot Springs National Park have drawn wellness seekers for centuries—today’s visitors soak in rejuvenating bathhouses before exploring nearby hiking paths and historic Bathhouse Row.

Arkansas pulses year‑round with festivals, culinary delights, and family‑friendly fun. Savor farm‑fresh greens and smoked catfish at the Arkansas State Fair in Little Rock, or toast with a locally brewed craft beer at Bentonville’s Fayetteville Ale Trail. Music festivals—from bluegrass in Eureka Springs to folk in Jonesboro—showcase emerging artists and time‑honored traditions alike. With three major airports (Little Rock, Northwest Arkansas, and Fort Smith) and an extensive network of scenic highways, planning your Arkansas adventure is easy. Whether you’re seeking a weekend retreat or a longer journey, the Natural State promises unforgettable moments at every turn—so pack your bags and let Arkansas guide your next great escape!
