Arkansas
Arkansas 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. For a relaxing vacation, Hot Springs National Park is the logical place to start since the hot waters have been rejuvenating travelers since the days of DeSoto and his explorers. Hot Springs Arkansas spas run the gamut from the historic Buckstaff Bathhouse on Bathhouse Row and the Arlington Hotel to the modern facilities at the Embassy Suites, The Austin and Mountain Harbor Resort.
Arkansas's natural beauty and its history are showcased and preserved
in the 52 Arkansas parks and museums of the Arkansas State Parks
system, in six National Park Service sites, in three national forests
covering more than 2.9 million acres of Arkansas, plus more than
200 Arkansas camping sites and recreational areas.
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.
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.
Discover Arkansas. It’s the natural state.
