You don’t need to take a multi-mile hike to see Arkansas’ stunning nature. City Rock Bluff showcases a spectacular view of the White River. Let’s take a relaxing drive to Calico Rock and stand atop the bluffs for a million dollar view.

Calico Rock is known for being the nation's town with its own ghost town but that's not the only reason to visit.
