A family vacation in Arkansas is as much as about small towns, civil rights and the Civil War as it is about forested mountains, abundant wildlife, and clear lakes and streams. Start a trip in Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, and steel a look at the recent past. Find out about the fight for desegregation at Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site. Learn about an American President at the Clinton Presidential Center and Library. Photograph the state capital. Taste your way round River Market. Reward tolerant tots with a romp in Riverfront Park. Travel beyond the 'big city' and explore the state's natural and historic landmarks. Visit Hot Springs National Park. Discover forested wetlands at Lorance Creek Natural Area. Tour Pea Ridge National Military Park. See Fort Smith National Historic Site. Experience offbeat Eureka Springs. Track time in small towns across the state. Traveling with active kids? Take to the trail in the Ozark National Forest, Mount Magazine State Park and Ouachita National Forest. Track the Trail of Tears and celebrate the survival of the Cherokee people. Try your hand at rock climbing, fishing, caving and even white water rafting.
