Arkansas’ First Resort Is Still A Treasured Trip The Whole Family Will Love
All of Arkansas is a paradise but one little slice you’ll especially fall in love with is Cherokee Village. The town was the first planned recreational community in the state. Today it’s a pleasant retreat with plenty of goodies to explore. Let’s take a quick tour of this lovely village.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

It's easy to become enchanted with the 15,000-acre resort destination. Cherokee Village has seven lakes, two 18-hole golf courses, trails, and endless opportunity for peaceful recharging. It's the little treasures, from the Lake Cherokee Spillway to the old brook bridge over Raccoon Spring, that make this place a truly timeless gem.
This gorgeous stair-step waterfall is located at Papoose Park (249 Iroquois Dr., Cherokee Village, AR 72529), though it's certainly not the only one in the area. The nearby Adahi Trail also has some lovely falls to chase.
Typically just known as South Fork, the river is a great place for a lazy paddle or bass fishing.
We're particularly fond of Star Falls Cabins. The tucked away B&B has the best views of the river and a gorgeous riverside trail as well. For more information about the cabins and to book a stay, visit their website.
The next door town has the best little shopping square in their historic district. It's the perfect addition to a wonderfully relaxing trip.
