Arkansas State Park · Polk County
The park follows 12.5 miles of the National Wild and Scenic Cossatot River, whose falls churn into Class V rapids for experienced paddlers when rain fills the watershed. Nearly 20 miles of trail and three tent camping areas share the river.
Pavilions and meeting rooms you can reserve for groups and events.
