Mount Magazine State Park

Mount Magazine State Park sits atop Mount Magazine, the highest point in Arkansas at 2,753-feet. In Paris, head south on AR-309 for the park. While the northern portion is moist, the southern half of the mountain includes cacti. The unique habitats create homes for rare and endangered plants like Ozark Chinkapin and the Maple-leaf Oak tree and animals such as the middle-toothed snail. From wildlife watching to the extreme adventure, Mount Magazine is the only place in Arkansas which features rock climbing, rappelling and hang gliding.
