Outdoors at Its Best: Explore the Natural Beauty of South Arkansas
If there’s one thing South Arkansas is known for, it’s the outdoors. With thousands of acres of forest, winding rivers, crystal lakes, and wildlife-rich habitats, this region is a year-round playground for adventurers, families, and nature lovers.
Hunting in Premier Habitat
South Arkansas offers some of the best hunting opportunities in the state. From deer and turkey to small game and waterfowl, our Wildlife Management Areas deliver exceptional access to natural, unspoiled terrain. Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge alone draws hunters from across the country.
Fishing on Quiet Lakes & Scenic Rivers
Anglers flock to Lake Columbia, Lake Monticello, the Ouachita River, and the Saline River for bass, crappie, catfish, and peaceful days on the water. Whether you prefer casting from a bank, paddling in a kayak, or taking a boat out at sunrise, you’ll find your perfect spot here.
Camping, Hiking & RV Adventures
South Arkansas is ideal for families and solo explorers seeking time outdoors. RV parks, wooded campgrounds, and peaceful lakeside sites make it easy to escape the noise and reconnect with nature. Trails at Logoly, Marks’ Mills, and other parks offer quiet hikes through rich pine forest and open bottomlands.
State Parks Full of Natural Wonder
Our state parks — including Logoly, Poison Springs Battleground, and Moro Bay — showcase history, wildlife, waterways, and some of the most scenic views in the region. Visitors enjoy kayaking, picnicking, guided programs, and wildlife observation all year long.
A Place to Slow Down & Breathe Deep
Whether you’re chasing your next big hunt, reeling in a record fish, hiking into the woods, or sitting by a campfire with friends, South Arkansas offers a simpler pace — one that stays with you long after you leave.
