Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Mississippi River State Park adventure.
Discover the natural splendor of Mississippi River State Park.
Arkansas’s newest state park is a feast for the senses. Where else can you find America’s longest and most historic river, the cold and refreshing Bear Creek Lake, a plethora of native wildflowers, and a beautiful campground nestled in a hardwood forest with spectacular views? Nowhere but the enchanting Mississippi River State Park. The park is on the Audubon Great River Birding trail and will inspire you with glimpses of unusual water birds, songbirds, and raptors. Gators, otter, fox, deer, and beaver are also common. If you’ve got some vacation time to use up, we encourage you to hitch up your boat and head out to Mississippi River State Park.
The best time to visit Mississippi River State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its most vibrant. Summer offers a wealth of activities but can be hot and humid. Winters are generally mild, though some facilities may have reduced hours or be closed.
