Hiking Locations
ARKANSAS
Mount Nebo State Park
Dardanelle, AR
Mount Nebo State Park is located 1,350 feet up on top of Mount Nebo itself.
Only 45 minutes away from Arkansas Wine Country in the Arkansas River
Valley, this beautiful state park is home to rustic-style cabins, pavilions,
bridges, and 14 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. Explore trails to
waterfalls, natural springs, breathtaking views, and even the 1830’s water
route to the Trail of Tears. Pick a path of one of the 6 different trails and
explore the natural beauty of Mount Nebo.
Triple Falls Trail
Jasper, AR
Although Triple Falls Trail is only 0.3 miles long, it makes for a nice, easy,
accessible little hike to one of Arkansas’ most scenic waterfalls. Located in
Camp Orr in the majestic Ozark Mountains, this beautiful 48-foot waterfall
is best seen in action after heavy rain. Of course, the full-flowing water
of the falls is beautiful in warmer months; however, there’s something
extraordinary about seeing the growing formation of icicles in the falls.
Texas
Atlanta State Park
Atlanta, Texas
Seating on the shores of Wright Patman Lake, Atlanta State Park is shaded
by towering pines and is a beautiful place to explore Texas history and
wildlife. “A Peaceful Retreat,” according to the park’s page on TPWD, Atlanta
State Park features a total of 6 trails for a total of 4.8 miles of hiking trails,
including a 0.8-mile nature trail. A true Texas beauty, this park is a wildlife
connoisseurs dream!
Bringle Lake Park
Texarkana, TX
Bringle Lake Park has quickly become one of Texarkana’s fastest-growing
recreation areas. This 7-acre park located by Texas A&M-Texarkana campus is
home to a 3-Loop Bike Trail for riders of all skill levels, a wilderness trail with
a multi-use path, painted pathways by local artists, and beautiful bridges/
walkways with benches alongside to take a break from your hike and take
in the beauty of nature.
