This is a great stop! We learned so much about the area and the fort that stood here. The park ranger gave us a lot of information and we watched the 20 minute video to get even more information. Then, we went out the back and walked part of the trail. It's an easy walk and if we'd had more time would have done more of it. We were already there 2.5 hours so if you want to do the whole thing then give yourself an extra hour (especially if you're a slower walker). Also, please note the gift shop is cash only at this time. read more

If you're in the area, this site is worth a detour. It almost feels like an oasis of sorts. The staff are friendly, informative, and nice.

Really cool NPS. Beautiful grounds. Lots of wildlife. Good hiking. Friendly rangers. Decent visitor center. Ok junior ranger program. The park video is a bit long but provides good background. Definitely worth checking out. read more

GREAT National Park Service site! Even though I arrived not long before closing time, the rangers were helpful and enthusiastic. Great documentary video presented in a unique style which worked. Beautiful setting. read more

Great! Must see. Do watch the video. This was the first capital of Arkansas and is rich in cultural relations before the Revolutionary War. The Democrat Gazette began there before Little Rock was made the capital and the newspaper moved to Little Rock. Staff members here will amaze you with their wealth of knowledge and friendly tips for visiting the area. read more
