A must-see attraction for any nature lover visiting southern Arkansas, the South Arkansas Arboretum covers twelve wooded acres where you can admire a wide variety of plants native to the region. You can explore the park along a two-mile paved foot path which will lead you through the three distinct sections of the park. Near the entrance you will find the Active Use area which boasts a Butterfly Garden and other beautiful plantings along with restrooms and a pavilion. As you leave the Active Use area you will find ponds and creeks together with more natural plantings in the Transitional Area and then you will enter the Natural Area where native plants are given free rein to grow as they wish.
