Located in the heart of central Arkansas farmlands, the Plum Bayou protects the remains of ancient earthworks which are known as the Toltec Mounds. The mounds are all that if left of an ancient Native American village where people built permanent sturdy homes and practiced farming, hunting and fishing between 650 and 1050 AD. You can get a good overview of the park at the Visitor’s Center and pick up maps for the two self-guided walking trails. The Visitor’s Center is also where you will find restrooms, interpretive exhibits and a gift shop. Access to the Visitor’s Center and the self-guided tours is free of charge.
