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.
Arkansas is surrounded by nature and known for incredible hiking trails. Some trails are easy to traverse, while others are more challenging. And they take us through mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and more. But the true hidden gems are found on trails that explore our vast wetlands. One such trail is located at Osage Park in Bentonville, where you can take the floating boardwalk trail through the natural ecosystem.
Located on 16th Street just one mile south of the Bentonville Square, is Osage Park, a 55-acre urban installation from the Peel Compton Foundation.
Also, you’ll learn about the animal and plant life that inhabit the area, and how their survival is important to our planet.
One of the best ways to explore the wetlands is by booking the free springtime tour. You’ll learn about the ongoing conservation efforts of this natural ecosystem.
Whether you’re there for recreational activities or to explore the natural wetlands, Osage Park has something for everyone. It’s a great way for the family to spend time together exploring nature.
