I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
If you’re an Arkansas native, chances are, you’ll know that Lake Ouachita is one of the cleanest lakes in the nation. Plus, the gorgeous 40,000-acre lake is a paradise for outdoor recreation. While it’s amazing to explore the pristine lake from its shorelines, it’s equally impressive to witness this oasis from over 1,000 feet above sea level. If this sounds intriguing to you, then let’s head to Hickory Nut Mountain Vista in the small town of Mount Ida. This unique man-made wonder in Arkansas features the most stunning panoramic views of the lake. The incredible stone structure is cradled atop Hickory Nut Mountain, and in my opinion, it’s worth the bumpy drive to the top.
