Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park
To contact the park: 501-961-9442
Arkansas's tallest remaining, prehistoric American Indian mounds are preserved at this National Historic Landmark site near Little Rock. The mounds and an earthen embankment are the remains of a large ceremonial and governmental complex that was inhabited here from A.D. 600 to 1050. Managed by Arkansas State Parks in conjunction with the Arkansas Archeological Survey, the Toltec site serves as both a state park and an archeological research station.
The park visitor center features exhibits, an audiovisual theater, sales area, and an enclosed educational pavilion that overlooks the mounds. The Toltec Research Station of the Arkansas Archeological Survey, a unit of the University of Arkansas system, and its laboratory are also housed in the visitor center.
Self-guided tours are offered along both the 3/4-mile, barrier-free trail and 1.6-mile turf trail.
Park interpreters lead guided tours and programs throughout the week by group reservation and at scheduled times on Saturdays.
From Little Rock, take Exit #7 off I-440 and go 10 miles southeast on U.S. 165, then travel 1/4-mile south on Ark. 386.
