Once on the eastern edge of the American frontier, Arkansas was once a rough-and-ready territory comprised of plantations and settlements of poor immigrants from nearby Appalachia. The Civil War brought an end to slavery, but racial tensions remained until desegregation was forced on the state in 1957. Industrialization improved the economic plight of residents somewhat during the same time period. Today, the Natural State is best known for its fabulous outdoor recreational opportunities, exceptional hot springs, and glorious mountain scenery. For history buffs, there are many sites and attractions dealing with the civil rights movement, rural Ozark mountain culture, and Bill Clinton (who remains a favorite son, whether he inhaled or not). All in all, the state offers a good deal of variety -- and a lot of good value.

For most people, Arkansas is probably best known as the home state of former president Bill Clinton, but there is far more than just politics on offer for visitors to this beautiful state to appreciate during their visit.



Amongst the many attractions for visitors to Arkansas, there are cities and towns, but perhaps the main reason for coming is in order to enjoy some of the largest and most unspoiled areas of countryside in the whole of the continental USA, including many incredible natural sights that will astound you. There are large national parks where you can hike, lakes where you can enjoy the summer sun on the beach and in small resort towns, and of course, plenty of great views to find on the roads that wind through the landscape.



As with many of the more rural states, the best way to spend Arkansas vacations is on a fly drive. Hiring a car on arrival in the state and then taking the time to get off the beaten track and explore the smaller towns away from cities like Little Rock, Arkansas.



In the Arkansas state parks there are plenty of lodges and guest houses where you can spend a night or two. Even further into the rural areas of the state, there are plenty of cabins in Arkansas that offer a range of different standards of accommodation for guests, and you can certainly find the kind of accommodation that you are looking for.



One of the top Arkansas tourism areas is in the Beaver Lake Arkansas region. High in the rugged Ozark Mountains, the lake is a reservoir that boasts more than 450 miles of coastline with many beaches and water sports on offer. The Beaver Dam that created the lake is one of the largest dams in the world, and a tourist attraction in its own right. It was built over a period of years from 1960, as part of a scheme that brought hydroelectric power and twelve new resort towns and national park areas to the Benton County area.



Moving south from Beaver Lake, the White River offers some of the best inland sport fishing in the USA, and is particularly popular during the key summer salmon season, when people come from all over the country in order to make some catches.



One of the most impressive attractions in the state, and something that every visitor with the time should make the effort to see are the natural springs at Hot Springs, Arkansas. This town, the tenth largest in the state was once a popular spa town, and still boasts a number of hotels and places where you can enjoy a range of different treatments and enjoy the health benefits of the water, which comes out of the ground at more than 60 degrees Celsius.



One thing is for certain, no matter where you come to Arkansas from, and whether you spend your time enjoying the urbane charms of Little Rock Arkansas, or head off into the wilds in order to get a taste of a more rural life, this is one of the most unspoiled and unpretentious areas of the USA. On your Arkansas vacation, you will be able to escape the excesses of the modern world or immerse yourself in them and enjoy a really relaxing break.
