Arkansas offers a mix of natural beauty and down-home flavors. From the bubbling springs of Hot Springs National Park to the only diamond-producing fields in the U.S., there's a lot to discover beyond the plate.
When it comes to food, Arkansas serves up Southern classics with a twist. Think fluffy biscuits smothered in Chocolate Gravy, crispy Hush Puppies, and the famously quirky Possum Pie. Rice plays a starring role, too-Rice Pilaf is a nod to the state's top crop.
On any visit, you might also find yourself enjoying fried catfish, pulled pork, creamy coleslaw, or fresh spinach from Alma, self-proclaimed 'World Capital of Spinach.' Arkansas is a place where Southern comfort meets unique local flavors.
