Hobbs State Park – Conservation Area
The largest state park in Arkansas, located on the south shore of Beaver Lake and known for hiking, mountain biking and karst landscapes.
The park covers about 12,000 acres and has numerous hiking and biking trails. The Van Winkle Historic Trail leads to the ruins of a 19th-century sawmill, and the Sinking Creek Trail shows a karst phenomenon where the creek disappears underground. The visitor center introduces Ozark ecology. Admission is free, and trails are open from sunrise to sunset. The visitor center may be closed on Mondays or Tuesdays. The park is about 30 km from Bentonville and is reached by car, and it can be combined with a visit to War Eagle Mill.
