Welcome to the place where the Ozark and the Ouachita Mountains meet along the shores of the majestic Arkansas River. Home to Arkansas’s highest point on Mount Magazine, third tallest on Mount Nebo, and the legendary Petit Jean Mountain—along with authentically charming towns, scenic lakes, unspoiled rivers, towering forests, fantastic festivals, unique museums, and fun family attractions. Four State Parks complete the picture, with one on each peak and another at Lake Dardanelle so everyone can enjoy the River Valley to the fullest extent imaginable.
