Situated in the Arkansas River Valley just 45 minutes from Arkansas Wine Country, this state park sits atop the 1,350-foot Mount Nebo.
The 1930s-era Civilian Conservation Corps constructed many of the rustic-style cabins, pavilions, bridges, and 32.6 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.
Cabin 1 was the first cabin rental in state park history. Twelve of the park’s 15 cabins are located along the bluff and have views of the river valley below. Most of the campsites do as well. There are 34 campsites (24 Class B and 10 hike-in tent sites). Note: there is not a dump station at the park.
Other facilities include a swimming pool (fee required), tennis courts, picnic areas, pavilions, and a visitor center with a gift shop.
Mount Nebo State Park is a certified Trail of Tears National Historic Trail Site. Mount Nebo, overlooking the Arkansas River from the south, witnessed the removal of all five of the tribes that were removed along the water route of the Trail of Tears. Mount Nebo offers panoramic views of the Arkansas River from the Rim Trail.
