About us
If you want to get outdoors, enjoy nature, and destress — this is the group for you. Please join us for fellowship in the great outdoors!
We love hiking, kayaking/canoeing, camping/backpacking, walking/racing, bicycling, etc. We are only allowed to pick 15 tags, but if it has to do with the outdoors, there's probably someone in this group who'd like to join you.
… and, of course, there's often food involved 😜
We look forward to spending time with you!

About this park:
This National Historic Landmark preserves a 17-acre Mississippian Period American Indian village located here from A.D. 1000 to 1550. Archeologists at this research station have uncovered evidence that Hernando de Soto may have visited this site in 1541. The site was also the location of the 1920s-era Northern Ohio Cooperage and Lumber Company, and the historic African American one-room Northern Ohio School still remains. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Park interpreters offer tours, educational programs, and special events throughout the year. Admission is free for self-guided tours and viewing exhibits in the museum. Nearby are the day-use picnic area, playground, and pavilion, available by reservation only. A boat ramp provides access to the St. Francis River.Arkansas State Parks list:

0.9mi Length
16ft Elevation gain
0.5–1hr Estimated time
LoopWHAT TO KNOW
Walk along the Village Trail and imagine what life was like 500 years ago when this village was inhabited by American Indians. See the still-standing platform mound on which the chief lived, and the extensive moat that was built for defense. Travel to another time period as well, as during the 1900s there was a sawmill, associated town, cemetery, African American school, and modern community on the grounds. You can visit the cemetery and restored one-room schoolhouse on the Village Trail. Interpretive signage will guide you as you explore the archeological site.Food: Levee Commissary
For those who would like to join us for a meal, we are planning on eating at Levee Commissary AFTER the hike4 attendees
