Can I visit any abandoned places in Arkansas?
Visiting abandoned places can be a hauntingly beautiful experience, but please remember that you should never trespass on private property, and venturing into abandoned buildings can be dangerous and one should always be cautious of their surroundings. The abandoned mining town of Rush can be visited, which includes ruins dating back to 1880. You can also visit the ruins of Monte, Ne, located near the White River Valley. The town was a health resort in the early 20th century but fell under financial troubles and sold in the late 1930s. When Beaver Lake was created in 1964, the town and the resort were submerged, and the only remaining structures are the foundations.
