This park is beautiful with tremendous photo opportunities. Excellent picnicking, an excellent railroad history museum, superb Visitor Center, and a national fisheries aquarium which was fascinating. There's a lot of history here and story that's interesting. Thank you Arkansas for maintaining it. T&L Bowling Green

Awesome place to visit! So many helpful and informative artists. Want to go back already. Many thanks to the printer (oh how I love books and the printed word!), the broom maker, the beeswax soap and candle maker, the textile expert and the docent at the log cabin for your time, knowledge and joy of your crafts!
4. Jacksonport State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 22 reviews
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.

This was a very quiet and small. Campground. Lots of trees and 3 short hiking trails make this a great spot for the spring and fall for pictures. Rangers were very nice and helpful. The lake was beautiful. We were told that this place is packed in the summer time. They have a little sand beach in one of the coves that is set up for swimming and kayak rentals. The only down side I was told is the bugs in summer are terrible and it gets super hot. We didn't have any bug issues in October. In fact everything was perfect.
6. Davidsonville Historic State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 24 reviews
Site of Arkansas’s first post office, courthouse and land office. Davidsonville faded away close to 15 years after being established in 1815. A park with camping, lake and river fishing, trails, pavilions, playgrounds and picnic areas surrounds Trappers Lake. The visitor center features a replica 1820’s hunter-trapper flatboat, interactive virtual tour of the historic town, and exhibits that explore the history of Davidsonville and life on the Arkansas frontier. The campground has 20 (12 water, 50-amp electric, sewer and 8 water, 50-amp electric) campsites.

The staff has done a great job preserving history through recreating the flat bottom boat that you can walk onto to see what life would be like on the river to the artifacts that were recovered during excavations. We enjoyed walking through the village and imagining what it would be like to live there. Teresa was very friendly and a joy to visit with.
