Arkansas
Arkansas is absolutely gorgeous in the summertime. Summer festivals and events are a great excuse to get out and enjoy sunny summer days and warm nights. Don’t miss Little Rock’s Riverfest, May 22-24. It’s the state’s largest family festival of the visual and performing arts.
Arkansas, The Natural State, combines the charm of the Old South with the intrigue of the pioneer West. Throw in the cosmopolitan feel found in Little Rock and Hot Springs plus one-of-a-kind Eureka Springs, and you have a vacation to remember.
Two mountain ranges rise in the northern and western reaches of the state, while the Delta provides some of the country's richest farm land, and is a world-class birding destination. Over 600,000 acres of lakes and 9,700 miles of streams and rivers make the state a prime destination for water sports and fishing. Arkansas boasts world records for hybrid striped bass, walleye and brown trout. Six national park sites, two national forests, plus three national scenic and seven U.S. Forest Service scenic byways showcase the awesome beauty that is Arkansas. Fifty-two state parks preserve and interpret the heritage, traditions and natural resources of this diverse state.
