Arkansas State Park · Jackson County
Steamboats made Jacksonport a thriving river port in the 1800s, and its 1872 courthouse is now a free museum at the confluence of the White and Black rivers. A swimming beach, boat ramp and the half-mile Tunstall Riverwalk line the water.
Pavilions and meeting rooms you can reserve for groups and events.
