My Favorite Part: Easy trails with nice views. Eating at the lodge after a cold night of camping.
Getting There:
From Little Rock: Take Hwy-10 west and then turn right on AR-309. This route is much more scenic than taking the interstate and doesn't take much longer.
From the website:
Mount Magazine State Park is located on Scenic Highway 309 approximately 16 miles south of Paris; or from Danville, travel nine miles west on Ark. 10 to Havana, then go 10 miles north on Scenic Highway 309.

Mount Magazine State Park contains the highest point in Arkansas and offers stunning views of the Arkansas River Valley and the Ouachita Mountains. The top of the mountain is somewhat flat and mostly forested, so the best views are found around the rim rather than at the peak. The lodge, cabins, and campsites are very popular in the fall, so be sure to book in advance. There is a network of short trails that take you to various points around the mountain and these connect to longer trails that leave the park.
