This year marks the 80th anniversary<br />
of the Great River Road and<br />
the Mississippi River Parkway<br />
Commission. Arkansas 362-mile section of<br />
the Great River Road National Scenic Byway<br />
winds its way through the eastern Delta<br />
region along the mighty river. The waterway<br />
creates a scenic and natural border that has<br />
beckoned people to its banks for centuries.<br />
Visitors can gaze upon acres of cotton,<br />
soybeans or rice as they travel through some<br />
of the most fertile land in the country. Along<br />
the trek, numerous historical and cultural<br />
sites preserve the history of Arkansas and its<br />
people and welcome visitors to learn more<br />
about this remarkable region. In Arkansas,<br />
the Natural State, spring and summer in<br />
Arkansas are great times for a road trip, so<br />
hit the Great River Road this season!<br />
