Nature and panorama
Crater of Diamonds State Park
Crater of Diamonds State Park offers a rare experience: looking for stones in an ancient volcanic field, with the possibility of keeping what is found. The land turned around, the buckets and the sieves give the visit a very concrete side, halfway between geology, patient play and treasure hunt.
Lake
Lake Greeson
Lake Greeson Extend its clear waters at the foot of the wooded hills of the southwest of Arkansas, not far from Murfreesboro. The launching ramps, beaches, trails and campsites make it a good counterpoint to the Crater of Diamonds, especially for fishing, swimming or spending a late afternoon on the lakeside.
Culture and heritage
Historic Washington State Park
Historic Washington State Park preserves a village in southwestern Arkansas with restored houses, former courthouses, workshops and quiet streets lined with trees. The visit evokes the travelers, artisans and political debates of a small border town, in a built decor that is better discovered building after building.
