ABOUT

Step into a solemn and powerful chapter of Civil War history at Poison Springs Battleground State Park, where the echoes of the 1864 engagement are preserved amid dense pines and quiet battlefield grounds. Here, historic markers, interpretive trails, and a modest monument invite visitors to reflect on the dramatic events that took place — one of the most brutal encounters in Arkansas during the war. Whether you’re hiking the wooded path, pausing beside the monument, or joining a guided history talk, this park offers a deeply meaningful stop that connects South Arkansas’s natural beauty with its profound past.
