Visit These Fascinating Underwater Ruins In Arkansas For An Adventure Into The Past
Arkansas is home to plenty of attractions, but one of the strangest has to be Monte Ne, a site near the Missouri border. In 1901, William Hope Harvey, a lawyer, and political activist, began developing plans for a massive community and health resort in the White River Valley. Hotels were constructed and over $400,000 invested, but today the area is largely underwater.

The name "Monte Ne" was derived from a combination of the Spanish and Omaha Indian words for "mountain water."

Funding for the Pyramid dried up after the stock market crash of 1929 and the Pyramid was never completed. All that remains is this retaining wall and an amphitheater, which is normally underwater.

All that remains of Oklahoma Row is this three story concrete tower. The sprawling hotel boasted 40 rooms with running water and electricity in each.

Boaters and scuba divers love to explore the ruins and enjoy the clear water.
Monte Ne may have never become the resort that William Hope Harvey dreamed of, but it’s still a great attraction for those that love being out on the water!
