Customer Reviews

An absolute must-read!
I found this book very informative and would suggest it to anyone who plans to visit Arkansas,as well as, the native Arkansan. There are so many trails listed that I was unaware of. Hats off to the authors!

Great and useful book.
I have so far not been on my Arkansas trip so I haven't checked the accuracy of the directions, etc., but, like most of the hiking books in this series, it seems to give a comprehensive view of the highlights of hiking trips in this state.
