There is guided or self-guided fishing and guided tours via tram or self-guided tours via bike or walking. There is a restaurant on site in the mill building. There is wildlife along the way and there are herds of Bison and elk as well as some Texas longhorn cattle. The park straddles the Missouri - Arkansas boarder. It is well worth the time you spend there.

On a Monday morning in April we (I, mother and daughter) set out to cruise through the glorious…read morecanyon on wheels. Feeling a bit hesitant at first to do it on bike but it was the best feeling. It was a perfect 68, clear skies and lilac blooms along the way. The perfection was almost overwhelming. A tram is also available for a round trip adventure but the bike was just too fun to pass up. Along the way we saw all kinds of little critters, snakes, fish and birds. Stopped at the tree house, chapel and most of the waterfalls. On bike with all the stops about 2 hours, walking could easily be 3+. Bikes are $15 each and I highly recommend getting there early so you have your pick cause the good ones go fast. Some have baskets and you should get one of those and then fill it with a picnic lunch. Little under $20 per person for entry, with discounts for veterans, seniors and children. Large parking but the place is popular, so again if possible arrive early.

The White River Valley Trail System is an awesome spot for anyone who loves a challenge. The…read moreparking area is spacious and well-maintained, with clean restrooms and clear welcome signs to get you started. Once you hit the trail these are technical paths with plenty of rocks, roots, and serious elevation changes. It's a tough hike or ride that requires skill and stamina. The trails aren't marked very well, you have to keep an eye on the trees. One of the trails connects to a paved road that leads down to the river, where you'll find access for fishing and some really nice views of the hatchery. Overall, this trail system is beautiful and challenging, perfect if you're looking for a solid workout and don't mind a bit of rough terrain. Definitely not for beginners, but experienced hikers and mountain bikers will love it.

A beautiful place to hike. While the trails are not marked well, the scenery is fantastic!!…read more Trees, wildlife, small waterfalls and so very peaceful. Easy to access. Great area to park cars. The lower trails are quite easy to hike, the ones further in get more difficult. Drop a pin when you park-- since the trails aren't marked well you might have some difficulty getting out if you are on a schedule. When you drop the pin, you can often take a short cut back to the parking area.

There are two stacked loops through rugged mixed timber and two one-way trails along Piney Creek. The trails are not well marked and there are a few "social" trails that can get you lost. A map and compass are a good idea if you plan on hiking from the north trail head to the south trail head or vice versa. This is a gorgeous and rugged area though, and easy to get to from Branson if you just want to get away for a few hours.

This is the BEST TRAIL in NWA! Period! I mean, come on: look at the 5-stars!…read more This is fairly easy hike for all skill levels. 3miles round-trip. 2-4hours total. Kids (and adults) will love scrambling on all the large rocks. Adults with enjoy the beauty of creation. And if you are brave enough, you will find a cathedral-type cave at the end of your journey. You do have to squeeze to find it, but the trip back into the cave is worth it--just be careful of any low hanging bats (lol!). My wife and I have lived in NWA for 5+ years and we do this hike at least once a year. Sometimes just us, but usually with a group and no one has ever complained about the distance or that they were bored. So good! I love this hike and I know you will too!!

Not a single trip to our 1919 log cabin in Eureka Springs is ever really complete until we've…read morestopped by Magnetic Springs for a couple of bottles of cold, delicious Ozark mountain spring water. Furthermore, our good friends Alvin and Charlie run the nearby Magnetic Springs Resort. (Hey, it's a gay friendly, clothing optional place. Great for what it is but probably not a prime choice for heterosexual Southern Baptist types who are in town for a weekend of Bible study and Trump worship.) You really need to stop by these historic springs if you're in the Eureka Springs area -- lots of doctors and artists (and temperance advocate Carrie Nation!) lived in this area a hundred and twenty years ago. Lots of nearby bars and restaurants, as well as shops and galleries. (This is just around the bend from Main Street, for Pete's sake.)
