arkadelphia arkansas Hotels

Arkadelphians don't just have fun in the sun. They have fun in the forest (a hike through the Ouachita National Forest is invigorating) and fun in the lakes, too (Degray Lake State Park has camping, water sports, golf and hiking). This is the heart of the splendid Diamond Lakes and Ouachita Mountain regions and outdoor enthusiasts find the natural resources a pure delight. You'll find sailing, fishing and even mining for diamonds and gems at Crater of Diamonds State Park. The trout streams here are so great, no one has to lie about their catches. The city's parks and recreation department offers beautiful sports facilities and miles of hiking/biking trails throughout the city. In addition the fabulous natural surroundings, you can head to Hot Springs for the Magic Springs Amusement park, Mid America Museum-a "hands-on" center for kids; Duck Tours (amphibious vehicles that tour the city, then plunge into Lake Hamilton for a cruise), Hot Springs Mountain Tower (glass elevator ride), Castleberry Riding Stables, the National Park Aquarium and the famous I.Q. Zoo (for "academic" animals only).
