Just a short distance from the heart of downtown Pine Bluffs, Arkansas, there are a number of private resorts and two State Parks with acres of hiking trails.  Queen Wilhelmina State Park, and Mt. Ida, offer all kinds of outdoor activities, and challenging trails.  There are crystal mines to explore, and a 223 mile Ouachita National Recreation Trail to wander, as it leads you through the Ouachita National Forests and Mountain Range.  There are many lodges in the area, and beautiful lakes.  Albert Pike Campground is well known for having the states best swimming facilities, because it’s close to the Little Missouri River, The Little Missouri Waterfalls and Winding Stairs Scenic Park. There is something for everyone to do in Pine Bluffs, with all of these natural wonders as a giant playground for people of every age and interest.
