Searching for info on Arkansas? Welcome to Arkansas Websites, an Arkansas directory on Arkansas websites from Arkansas covering Arkansas and Arkansas businesses, Arkansas schools, Arkansas news and Arkansas events.Arkansas, The Natural State, became the 25th state to join the Union when she gained statehood in 1836. First explored by Europeans in the 16th century, Arkansas attracted settlers in search of fertile lands and fresh waters. Popular visitor destinations include Hot Springs National Park, one of the country's oldest and most visited parks; Eureka Springs, a resort since the 1880's; a water theme park- Wild River Country, and numerous restorations and museums, including Mid-America Science Museum, a "hands on" look at life, energy, matter, and perception. The Buffalo National River was the country's first national river park, and Blanchard Springs Caverns is the major cave find of the 20th century. The Great River Road links eastern Arkansas on a marked route that parallels the Mississippi. Arkansas' state park system is one of the finest in the country, preserving and interpreting special features of the state's scenic, historic, geologic, and archaeological heritage for this and future generations. Unusual parks include the Ozark Folk Center, where the mountain culture of the pioneers is on display; Crater of Diamonds, where visitors may search for precious stones and keep what they find; Old Washington, one of the state's most historic towns; and Village Creek, the largest park in the system at just under 7,000 acres. Queen Wilhelmina, DeGray, Petit Jean, Devil's Den, Crowley's Ridge, Lake Chicot, and Lake Catherine are other major parks. Impressive new visitors centers at Lake Dardanelle and Mountain Magazine are just some of the improvements and expansions taking place at various Arkansas state parks.
