Welcome to Arkansas

Arkansas is called The Natural State, and it earns it — but the wildest part is what you can take home. At Crater of Diamonds State Park you can dig for real diamonds in an old volcanic field, and whatever you find is yours to keep. It is the only place in the world the public can do that, and visitors have pulled out more than 37,000 diamonds, including the largest ever found in the United States. An hour away, you can soak in natural hot springs at a national park the government set aside back in 1832, decades before Yellowstone. Add the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, clear lakes, and quartz crystals you can dig too, and Arkansas is a road trip full of treasure. Below you will find every Arkansas map, trip, guide, and hidden gem we have.
