It has a Eco (nature)Trail that runs along the water's edge. I've visited several times and the Mississippi River Museum always seems to be closed but hopefully I'll catch it open to check it out. My favorite part of the park is the 48-Foot River Overlook that juts out over the water.You will love the view of the river. Plenty of parking for vehicles with trailers and they have a boat ramp. Check it out.

Refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher are all in the cabin as well (we stayed in cabin 3). Parking spaces are conveniently located next to the cabin for easy loading and unloading. The screened back porch features ample seating areas and a ceiling fan to keep things breezy. You will encounter mosquitoes, as you would expect staying in a forest, so bring mosquito spray and/or peppermint oils to deter. I made sure to rub peppermint on the kiddos when they were sleeping to keep them at bay. There are designated fishing areas and swimming areas. Also you can hike! There are camping spaces which we want to stay at next time, it looks clean and kempt! Amazing place to experience :)

I visited Cane Creek State park in the Spring of 2010 for an overnight backpacking trip with my…read moredaughter. We hiked the Cane Creek Lake Trail six miles from the trailhead to the campground. We had the campground to ourselves on a Saturday night. The trail was fairly level with small dips into creeks. The swinging suspension bridges were fun to cross. The trail is well marked and signed and bridge numbers are used to identify locations in emergencies. Our trip coincided with a controlled burn and we enjoyed several trees still on fire and the contrast of the bright trail with the darker country side. Fortunately the burn extended only a mile or so into our hike. The lake features beaver and their structures. (Beware of "beaver fever" and treat all lake water carefully. There are kayak rentals for those wanting to tour the lake. naturalists also lead scheduled tours on the water or you can follow a self-guided water trail. The camping area was very nice and you can rent one of two trailers with decks if you want to try out camping or just don't want to encumber yourself. Star City is a just few miles away and the local stores provide groceries and other items you may have forgotten. Amateur radio operators should note there is a repeater in nearby Star City which can be linked to Little Rock using the 110.9 tone. Friends in Little Rock can reply using 146.940 with a similar 110.9 tone.

Why have I never visited the White River National Wildlife Refuge before? I have deprived myself of…read morea great destination for far too long. Okay, the NWR is not for everyone as it lacks paved roads, developed camp sites, running water, electricity or even sanitation facilities (not even a porta-potty). But for those wanting a true outdoor experience, the NWR can't be beat and its free! Your tax dollars have paid for access and camping. I highly recommend the north side entrance on Highway 1 between Dewitt and Marvell. A short drive down the gravel road on the north side leads to several lakes and adjacent camping areas. Just ensure you're camped inside the white paint rings on the trees. All of the lakes feature gravel boat launches and you will need a boat, canoe or kayak to take full advantage of NWR waters. You do need to be fishing or hunting in the NWR in order to camp and rangers and game wardens were active the days we visited. Also you'll need a free NWR permit which you can download or pickup at the visitor center just off of Highway 1 on the Dewitt side of the White River bridge. While picking up your permit in person, take time to walk the Upland trail. Plan about 30 minutes for the circuit. Kids will also love the diorama in the visitor center. I plan to return several times each year to fish in the NWR and, no, I won't tell you my favorite lake and camping spot. You'll need to find your own.

If you go in flood season, the boardwalk should be open and give you great views of wildlife during this time of year. We saw several different kinds of fish and snakes swimming in the water as well as brightly colored birds everywhere. We would like to return after flood season to compare, but we're sure it will be just as great. When you go down the road toward the visitors, don't pass it up. The building with the solar panels and flag is both the office AND visitor's center. We thought it was just the office and ended up on a narrow, deeply rutted dirt road leading to a couple lodges.
