Arkansas State Parks Trip Ideas

Devil’s Den State Park is a special place set aside to protect and preserve the natural and cultural resources of this unique Ozark Valley in northwest Arkansas. For over a year in the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) worked to create one of the jewels of Devil’s Den State Park – the lake and waterfall – now a legacy for generations to enjoy.

The popularity of mountain biking has exploded in Arkansas. With mild fall temperatures and beautiful autumn color, now is the time to get on your bike and ride.

If you visit Devil’s Den State Park and take a guided hike or self-guided hike of the CCC Interpretive Trail, it's like turning back time and experience the same park from the 1930's.

Fossil Flats is a six mile trail tucked away in Devil's Den State Park that is home to the Arkansas Mountain Bike Championships and Ozark Mountain Bike Festival.

Arkansas State Parks has been involved in mountain biking since the 1980s and still have a variety of rides, competitions, trails and bike shops.

We interpreters like to feed the songbirds, and this helps folks who come to the visitor center get a better look at them, especially if they go into the exhibit room and look out through the large window at the pond.
