Ozark-St. Francis National Forests

The Ozark National Forest is a 1.2 million-acre forest in western Arkansas' Ozark Mountains. The St. Francis National Forest in eastern Arkansas encompasses slightly over 22,000 acres, making it one of the country's smallest national forests. Hiking, camping, swimming, fishing, and scenic drives are just a few of the outdoor activities available at both parks. Both parks accept dogs, however they must be kept on leashes in the campsite sections.
