Arkansas: Where should one visit

[Blue Goat]

Planning a November trip to Arkansas, what are the best areas to visit? Parks, etc.

 

[GWoody]

MMMMMM, Hot Springs, Eureka Springs, and if you're in northern Arkansas go a little farther north, just across the line and hit good ol Branson, Mo.

I second Northern Arkansas. Try to get to the Buffalo National River, and also Eureka Springs, but that area IS hilly!

Crater of Diamonds State Park. Hunt for your own diamonds and rocks. Nice campground. http://www.arkansas.com/things-to-do/diamond-hunting/

Id have to go to the Whitewater subdivision and see about buying a lot. I voted for Slick Willy the first time so I should get a bargain!!

Eureka Springs and The Great Passion Play... ... Buffalo River trip... ... Beaver Dam Lake is a nice park but it shuts down arround Oct 31. Oh yeah,do have your brakes checked before the trip. :-laf :-laf

Never been there but asked the wife and she has. She said the Ozarks would be more pretty in November than other areas and second Gwoody's advise on Branson.

We just got back from Arkansas this week, we go every year for the wifes family reunion. We pretty much stay in the NE part of the state but I highly recommend the Ozarks, and we made the trip up to Branson, my first time there and I loved it. We are going back to Branson in October, just the wife and I to take in more of the shows the kids probably would be bored with.

The trout fishing is great on the Little Red River and also the White River.

Blanchard Springs Caverns is also a must see. All are in the same area.

Be sure to visit the slick willie presidential massage parlor, XXX rated movie theater and video rental store, and his pawn shop in Hope, AR.

If you go in November, you might want to do it before thanksgiving if you go to Northern Ark. A couple of years ago I went to Branson, MO. after thanksgiving and planned to visit some relatives in SE AR on the way back and it was beginning to sleet and snow as we where heading south. Beautiful country in the late fall though.

I'd suggest the blue dress exhibit at the Slick Willie memorial library :-laf

Cajuns goin' outta state

You Cajun boys better stay where you is at, I guarantee! Hoo-boy! Y'all get up dere in dem Arkansas hills an' you ain' never gone fine yo way home. I mean, cuz, dey ain' got no swamp and no self-respectin' shrimp'd be caught dead dat fur nawth. So what you gon eat, steak? Potatoes? You be done starve to death befo you get back. But if dat feller whut ask about Arkansas get to Branson over Tanksgivin,' he kin hear dem Gatlin' brothers 'cause dey is on de agenda. Hoo-boy! Dem Gatlin boys got some Cajun blood in 'em somewhere, I guarantee!
