Top places to visit in Arkansas

Little Rock’s famous tavern

The White Water Tavern in Little Rock is a local institution, having survived decades of rowdy crowds and three fires. Even Bill Clinton hung out here during his Arkansas Attorney General days. Don’t expect anything swanky – it’s local history that makes this drinking hole legendary. The bar’s made from an old shuffleboard table, repurposed after the building’s third fire in 40 years; and the décor is a collection of memorabilia including the canoe that inspired its name. The bar has been at the center of the Arkansas music scene for decades and focuses on the ever-widening scope of Americana.

An old man who liked to run in the nude

Old Naked Joe Mountain in the breathtaking Ozarks is named after an old man who liked to run in the nude. One story goes that the man, named Old Joe, lived on the top of the tall mountain a small town was situated on. A second story tells of a powerful tornado that ravaged the town, tearing all the trees and bush off Old Joe Mountain, leading it to be renamed Old Naked Joe Mountain. Although the original town still exists, few people live there, but the area is still popular with hikers and nature enthusiasts throughout the year who make their way up Old Naked Joe Mountain’s many hiking trails to the summit.

Peppersauce Ghost Town

Located within the Calico Rock city limits, this abandoned early-20th-century boomtown began as a trading post for French traders and trappers traveling the White River. The name “Peppersauce” is a reference to the local moonshine. When trains started making regular stops in 1903, the town settled down as a rail and river trade hub and thrived. But by the 1960s, the train no longer stopped in Calico Rock and it was eventually abandoned.

The making of Johnny Cash

If it weren’t for a small sign nearby, most visitors would drive right on by Johnny Cash’s boyhood home, a modest house that looks out over soybean fields in a town of about 400. Ray and Carrie Cash moved to the community of Dyess with their five children in March 1935 and Johnny remained here until 1950, when he joined the U.S. Air Force right out of high school. Cash’s music was heavily influenced by his childhood, with the star saying: “In Arkansas, a way of life produced a certain kind of music.” One of only a few houses that remain in Dyess, the home is a popular pilgrimage spot for fans of the great music man. In 2011, the Arkansas State University took on its restoration and preservation.

Walk the length of the Mississippi

From Mud Island River Park in Memphis, you can walk the whole Mississippi River in one short afternoon. The River Walk is a five-block-long replica of the lower Mississippi River, with each 30” stride equivalent to one mile of the actual river. On your travels you’ll revisit historical events and learn about geographical transformations. The “1,000-mile” journey concludes at the Gulf of Mexico – a one-acre enclosure that holds 1.3 million gallons of water, where you can enjoy a pedal boat ride around the Gulf area with the Memphis skyline in the background.
