Arkansas has many beautiful parks and natural landmarks to explore, but there’s one in particular that simply cannot be missed. The hike up to this breathtaking point leads past incredible fall foliage and even a waterfall before taking you to one of the most scenic places in Arkansas.

Whitaker's Point, tucked away in the Ozarks, is one of the most iconic spots in Arkansas. Due to its unique shape, this rock overlooking scenic Buffalo River country is also called Hawksbill Crag.

The view from this precipice is positively magical, though it might make your palms sweat. If you're more of a thrill-seeker, you will wish you could take flight.

It's not just for couples, though. This is the perfect place to sit alone in meditative silence. Whether you visit alone or with a group, be very careful on the rock and do not walk out on the very edge.

The trail up to the scenic overlook is lovely, surrounded by red and orange maple leaves this time of year, wildflowers in the spring, and lush greenery in the summer. There's also a waterfall and plenty of scenic stops along the way up to Whitaker's Point.
