What are some scenic hikes in Arkansas?
Lost Valley Trail in Arkansas is definitely one of the most beautiful treks in the state -- but The Natural State is full of many, many more stunning trails. If you're looking for more scenic hikes to take in Arkansas, definitely check out these nine trails, which we believe to be some of the most beautiful hikes on the planet! We're no exaggerating here, either. Glory Hole Waterfall Trail in Deer, Arkansas, is a 1.8-mile trail that leads to the eponymous Glory Hole Waterfall, one of Arkansas’ more unique and wondrous waterfalls. Just outside of Ponca, the Goat Trail leads to a seriously jaw-dropping view of Big Bluff overlooking the mighty Buffalo River. The trail is about six miles in length, however, with a rugged terrain and several steep inclines, making it not ideal children or anyone afraid of heights (the amazing views are well-worth it if you're a seasoned hiker, however!). If you're looking for some scenic hikes in Arkansas that are accessible for all skill levels, here are 12 beautiful treks all under five miles long!

The camping in Arkansas is incredible, which is no surprise, really; we are The Natural State, after all!

If you're out exploring and hiking and simply must continue the party and pitch a tent for the night, there are some really wonderful campsites in Arkansas where no reservations are required. Some of our favorite places to camp in Arkansas include Wolf Pen in Oark, South Fourche in Plainview, and Moccasin Gap in Dover.
Where are some beautiful places to camp in Arkansas?
Looking to take your Arkansas camping experience to the next level? Try Steel Creek Campground, a stunning campground on the Buffalo River that looks up to the infamous Roark Bluff and other gorgeous scenery. Sam's Throne Recreation Area in Mt. Judea is a primitive campground, but the amazing vistas more than compensate for that minor detail! If you've ever looked out from atop Mount Magazine then you've already seen the beauty of Blue Mountain Lake Recreation Area and the Petit Jean River Valley. The state park tends to stay crowded but an overnight stay at the rec area is much more quiet. Campsites begin at $18/night and can be booked right here. (Prefer to stay in a cabin versus pitching a tent? This cozy cabin in the Ozarks is absolutely sublime.
