In the 1800s steamboats made Jacksonport a thriving river port. During the Civil War, the town was occupied by both Confederate and Union forces because of its crucial locale. Jacksonport became county seat in 1854, and constuction of a stately, two-story brick courthouse began in 1869. The town began to decline in the 1880s when bypassed by the railroad. The county seat was moved in 1891 to nearby Newport, and Jacksonport's stores, wharves and saloons soon vanished.Today, exhibits in the park's 1872 courthouse and programs by park interpreters share the story of this historic river port. Admission to the courthouse is free. The park offers 20 Class A campsites with water and electric hookups including 50 amp service at all sites, a swimming beach on the White River, standard pavilion, picnic sites, playground, and the Tunstall Riverwalk Trail to stroll alongside the river. The park is on Ark. 69 in Jacksonport (just three miles north of Newport).

Been here a couple times. It's always been very quiet. It's a cool place to learn of some Civil War history in the Jacksonport and Arkansas area. Guided tours of the old Court house are available or you can simply borrow a key and go walk around yourself. Nice building with old artifacts from the war as well as stories of soldiers. Fun gift shop to get souvenirs and there is a trail next to the white river that's peaceful and an enjoyable activity.

I was looking for a great place to take pictures, so went down a path to get to a good spot to photograph the waterfalls. I was pleasantly surprised by the old mill! Great spot, even when the heat and humidity are so terrible.
