Hobbs State Park – Conservation Area

More Northwest Arkansas Sites

I have company this week and we are going to many of the tourist sites. Some of the sites are new and some I have visited before. All are fun and worth a visit. I did not have a camera with me so no photos of Hobbs.

Hobbs is the largest state park in Arkansas. Planned as a conservation area the development is kept to a minimum. There are several hiking trails and one multi-use trail in the park. There is also a brand new visitors center. That was our first stop Monday. The displays and film are well done. Hobbs is a great place to hike and the visitor’s center is worth a visit. If you are in the area check out Hobbs State Park. Visit their web site for more information.

Hobbs is located on Arkansas 12 east of Rogers. The only camping in the park is primitive however Beaver Lake is near Hobbs and has several Corp of Engineer parks with great camping areas. Other lodging is available in the area.
