The nature found throughout the state of Arkansas is incredible. From rivers to hiking trails to hills and forests, this is a great place to be if you love being outside. But, one of my favorite outdoor spots is a special memorial lying beneath the surface of Lake Ouachita. Honoring Navy SEAL and Arkansan Adam Lee Brown, the Fearless Rock Underwater Memorial is the only one of its kind in the state, and it can only be reached by diving.
