Wonderful collection of wildlife (birds, animals) and engaging stuffed animals. Nice display of what creatures are found in a cave. Great for young children. The roughly 1 mile hike on a paved surface is great for families. The help are very available and knowledgeable. read more

Love this park it's basically a big forest with lots of places to hunt at. What I love about it is you can take off in the woods and not see nobody. 5 yrs ago they held a raffle for permits to hunt in this area. I was lucky enough to have my named called out. There's plenty of wildlife here such as wild Turkey and deer!! I loved coming out here back in the day to hunt that big buck I basically would watch the deer which was just as fun. If your looking for a big forest this is the place. Just be careful you can get lost read more

The trail was beautiful and very well taken care of. They take really good care of the park. The ladies inside were very friendly.

The pretty welcome center is just where it begins. Past that, you'll find Arkansas' largest state park with over 52 miles of hiking trails (including horseback riding trails, mountain biking, and ADA trails), primitive camping sites, and geocaching. There's trails of varying lengths, so whatever your activity level, there's something there for you. We went geocaching and loved it! Word to the wise - if you go in the summer time, there will be ticks. Make sure to get some tick spray or balm or peppermint oil on your extremities before heading out on the trail. read more

This is a great trail. One of 4 monuments trails in arkansas. Karst and wolfs den are pretty amazing. Haven't tried the others yet but I totally recommend those two trails. read more

Love going to events and lectures at Hobbs. He outdoor pavilion is a wonderful spaces and all the trails are such a gift to the area.

Great trails and visitor center! Good in all seasons. Paved trail for strollers. Thanks

All way friendly and informative at the visitor's center. Love the trails for hiking and biking.

Went on the Eagle Watch tour with family & friends as a 'day after' Thanksgiving treat. It was really great ! Our party of 6 (one being disabled and a wheelchair user). We arrived at the requested time and found the guide in the parking lot, just as the instructions said ! Unfortunately the weather was quite bleak (cold, drizzly, yucky) however, to our surprise and fortune - we were told that the weather was the perfect environment to see the Eagles soaring above Beaver Lake. We were not disappointed. Our pontoon boat offered, mandatory life vests, binoculars, and blankets. These goodies were not mentioned in our reservation but were certainly a welcome feature. The crew was VERY accommodating to our wheelchair friend and they were kind enough to not draw any unnecessary attention to him. We were lucky enough to view about 5 different Eagles and the host on the boat was really great at finding them hidden in the trees along the shores of Beaver Lake. It was a fabulous way to close out our Thanksgiving day feast and very reasonably prices ($10 pp). Highly recommend this and we are looking forward to joining some of their other options; i.e. kayak tours, sunset tours, etc. We are thankful ! read more

We had a great time visiting the visitor's center and hiking the Pigeon Roost trail for 2 miles to the overlook. Here's a little video of our time there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM61NBqgmFE&list=PLmJUb__C4bHRUSQnXSjLd9abcLCgRY6FW The rangers in the center were super nice and they also have clean bathrooms and a water bottle filling stations. It looks like there are classes or activities going on there all the time. The trail was nice, but we went in June, so it got pretty hot. We still had fun, and the overlook at the lake was really pretty. read more

Breath taking experience, will come back in summer. It's best to check if permit hunting is on, cos that's when several tracks are shut down. Amazing customer service, treasure trove of historic developments in early American days. read more

Mtbing is awesome! I've ridden the trails twice now. Nothing technical, lots of flow and quite a bit of climbing. The loop is approximately 20 miles with just a couple miles of back tracking. Watch out for timber rattlers when the weather is warm. And if you're new to the trail take a map, just in case. read more

We hiked the Shaddox Hollow trail in mid-March. It took us about an hour and 6 minutes. The trail was well-marked and well-designed. There were a few places where it was a little steep, but nothing too bad as long as you take it slowly in those areas. We look forward to a return trip and will certainly check out the other trails as well! read more

Sat outside the Visitor Center on rocking chairs for like 1/2 hour enjoying the hummingbird feeders! What a riot of activity! Inside we got a recommendation for a nice hike along a wooded path (Shaddock). I just love Hobbs State Park and the fact that it is a hop, skip, and jump from Rogers, AR. Way fun! read more

Holy crap! Super fun and flowy mountain biking. Not too much technical. Visit the information center. Very friendly with maps. The entire trail network is worth visiting. We are from California and if there is one place to ride in the area, this would be it. read more

This was a great experience for the whole family! We were able to make it to Turtle and A Tale event and it was informative and fun. The park ranger let us touch the turtle and let my son feed it. The impressive exhibits are interactive and educational. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The surrounding land is beautiful and expansive. Can't wait to go back and hopefully make it to a night event for star gazing or moon viewing! read more

We came here from out of state (Texas) last week and loved it! The trails are really well maintained and clearly marked, and the trailheads have plenty of parking and clearly posted information (there's even brochures and maps you can take with you, which is really helpful). We did the Sinking Stream, Van Winkle, and Pigeon Roost trails--definitely wish we had time to do more! The scenery is beautiful and coming from Texas I appreciate seeing what the color green looks like for once. The Pigeon Roost Trail was my favorite. It's about 4 miles in length with enough incline to be challenging and offers some nice views of the like. Both times we hiked, we had the entire trail to ourselves--hard to believe more people aren't out there enjoying this gem! read more
