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.

Thomas Carmichael Hindman, Jr. was a voice for Arkansas's secession and was essentially Arkansas's most prominent Fire-Eater. When Arkansas voted 65-5 to secede in May 1861, Hindman resigned from the U.S. Congress and recruited a regiment in Helena. He requested the state government for muskets, clothing, and 10 days of rations so that his men could "fight for our country." By September 1861, Hindman was promoted to the rank of brigadier general and soon participated in the disastrous Kentucky Campaign, followed by the Battle of Shiloh, where he was slightly wounded. After his recovery, Hindman was promoted to Major General and appointed commander of the Trans-Mississippi Department to prevent an invasion by the Union troops led by Samuel Curtis. Events in Arkansas had taken a terrible turn, and when Hindman arrived in Little Rock, Arkansas, he found that his command was "bare of soldiers, penniless, defenseless, and dreadfully exposed" to the Federal Army that was approaching. Hindman commenced a campaign of misinformation designed to mislead Federal authorities about the strength of the state's defenses. He also diverted Texas troops bound for Virginia for use in the defense of Arkansas. This confused the Federal authorities, causing them to divert from the capital and instead move to Helena. By August 1862, the authorities in Richmond decided to replace him (due to locals and political opponents complaints) with Theophilus H. Holmes. Hindman convinced Holmes to give him a field command in northern Arkansas. Hindman managed to intercept the Federal army while it was divided into 2 parts. Rather than attack the divided pieces, Hindman entrenched himself at Prairie Grove, Arkansas, allowing the Federal forces to recombine and assault him. After Prairie Grove, Hindman was transferred across the river and participated in the Battle of Chickamauga alongside his friend Pat Cleburne. After being wounded in the neck at Chickamauga, Hindman and his legion continued to fight along with the Army of Tennessee against General William Tecumseh Sherman, across north Georgia from the First Battle of Dalton to the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. On July 4, 1864, at Kennesaw Mountain he was struck in the eye by a tree limb and fell off his horse. Hindman suffered severe injuries that left him unfit for service and made him have to recouperate. Afterwards, he applied for a transfer to the Trans-Mississippi Department. His request was denied, but Jefferson Davis offered a leave of absence until he had fully recovered from his "physical disability". Hindman set out for Texas and arrived in San Antonio and settled there with his family for the time being. By May 1865, Confederate generals in New Orleans signed a document detailing terms of surrender. Hindman refused to surrender and, along with many other ex-Confederates, he crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico and sought asylum. He engaged in coffee planting and attempted to practice law. By April 1867, he was confident enough to return to Arkansas and apply to President Andrew Johnson for a pardon. Hindman's application was one of the few denied. At around 9:30 on the night of September 27, 1868, Hindman was assassinated by unknown assailants who fired through his parlor window while he was reading his newspaper with his children. The musket shots hit Hindman in the jaw, throat and hands, and he died 8 hours later due to significant blood loss, ending the life of Arkansas' highest ranking Confederate military officer. Before his death, Hindman gave a farewell speech from the porch of his house. He told listeners to "unite their courage and determination to bring peace to the people." "I do not know who killed me; but I can say, whoever it was, I forgive him." "I forgive everybody, and hope they will forgive me." Afterwards, he was too weak to continue speaking, and he sat down on a lounge. He remained there until he died early next morning. Hindman's assassins were never caught.

When it comes to the bar area I feel like it could be expanded to accomdate more gamers who wish to be bar side & enjoy the entertainment up closer. With the popularity of the floor area it should be expanded for a actual dance floor & a expanded lounging area for others who just want to enjoy drinks.

You cannot bring drinks in from the casino that it is in which is normal and expected. The seating was terrible!! It is those folding chairs with fake cushion jokes together. I was sandwiched between my husband who is a big guy and a bigger woman. He had me and an average size man next to him. These seats are for people who are not a pound overweight. No thigh meat can go past the seat or it affects the entire row so you can imagine how I felt. Luckily the husband of the lady next to me unhooked their chairs and the other guy left for another seat. Since this is a music venue, it does function best at that if it is for dance floor use. We were close to the stage so we had a nice view. There were also the two screens showing the comedians. There were levels, all with the same seating, which made it easy to get a good look. It is cozy, not to large to get a bad seat. Try to pick your seat in the end if you are not waifer thin.

Anyway, if you come here for a concert, you should review this listing. If you come here for the casino or hotel, then you should review that listing just like they do at Horseshoe Casino. Horseshoe has their own concert listing too which is called Bluesville Showcase Nightclub. I came here for the Oak Ridge Boys concert. First of all, I thought the tickets were high. Others were getting theirs for free. But, I had to pay for mine. I was told different prices too. At one time, they told if I come back at a certain time, I might one free or discounted. I did and that didn't happen. Anyway, I enjoyed the concert. They put on a great concert. The seats were nice and comfortable and there was plenty of room unlike other concert venues I have been to. They also sell drinks in the concert area which is different from the casino itself which are mostly comped for tips. They don't have as many concerts in this venue like they do next door at Bluesville. But, they schedule some great entertainers here.

What a great experience!…read more This was the second year in a row that we have gotten our Christmas Tree at this small tree farm near Nesbit MS. They have a great selection of trees that you just walk up and claim. They come by and cut it down for you and load it up on their trailer connected to a four wheeler. They are friendly and efficient. They cut it, have a machine to shake anything loose that may be hiding in there, then wrap it up, and actually tie it down to the roof of your vehicle if you would like. This year we got a 8'6" tree for $90. I feel like that's pretty good for a fresh cut tree and the experience of roaming around the farm looking for the perfect one. On a side note, the farm owner is also the Desoto County Coroner. He is very nice and said he has had great success networking with his constituents by selling the trees. Hopefully I'm still alive the next time I run into him. I'll shoot a picture of my decorated tree later and post it so you can see how it turned out.
