High atop 2,753-foot Mount magazine, the state's tallest mountain, this scenic Arkansas state park was developed in the Mount Magazine Ranger District of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest through a special use permit from the U.S. Forest Service. Sweeping vistas of broad river valleys, deep canyons, and distant mountains welcome outdoor enthusiasts to Arkansas's high point. This is a place to enjoy sightseeing, exploring the mountain and nature study. The park is a destination for outdoor sports and extreme adventure enthusiasts that offers rock climbing, rappelling, hang-gliding, mountain biking, horseback riding, backpacking, and ATV adventure. An ATV guide service is available. The park also offers overlooks, hiking trails, a picnic area with restrooms, pavilion, and a visitor center with an exhibit gallery and gift shop. The park offers 18 campsites (two Class AAA and 16 Class AA with tent only options). The Lodge features 60 guest rooms, a restaurant, conference center, business center, indoor heated swimming pool, fitness center and game room. Thirteen fully equipped cabins share the same bluff and seeping views of the valley as the lodge.
There are many trails in the park and several that are not very difficult and well worth the effort to hike if you want to see some beautiful sights. It's only .4-mile hike to reach Signal Hill, the highest point in Arkansas.

This is a small site -- the museum is just one room. But I really recommend it. I stopped in because of a personal connection. My grandfather grew up in Paris, and used to tell stories about working in the coal mines as a teenager. My wife and I detoured through Paris on a recent road trip just to see the town and visit this site. I never dreamed that they would actually have so much information about individuals who worked in the mines. The curator who was there helped us find all kinds of information -- dates when my grandfather, great-grandfather, and great uncles worked in the mines, which mines they worked in, and even a newspaper clipping about. The even had an old photograph of the particular mine where my grandfather had worked. Although this seems like a modest site, they really have done a ton of research. The museum, though small, is also really interesting. They have lots of things on display, like old carbide mining lamps and other things that show you what working in the mines was like. Also, admission to the museum is free, though donations are welcome.

This place is a hidden gem. Do not go expecting a cookie cutter winery with phone obsessed teens taking your money. This place is run by the owner and winemaker Robert Cowie. Yes as said below he takes time to get to the door, but unless you are a classless ignoramous, wait until he arrives. He has some health issues that slow him down so I give him a pass, but he continues doing what he loves so I respect the hell out of him. It is also beneficial because what he loves is producing the absolute best wines made in Arkansas and in my humble opinion, anywhere else. Me. Cowie makes the best Port I have ever tasted, a port that has won multiple awards. I have not tasted one wine that was not expertly made. Honestly, this man is a craftsman in an age of pseudo craftsmen. It is worth the drive and wait. If you are lucky, you may be able to speak with Robert and see the true passion he has.
