AR State Parks: Marks' Mills Battleground State Park

This hike IS NOT PET-FRIENDLY.

Our goal in this series is to visit all 52 state parks. This month’s park is:

Marks' Mills Battleground State Park
Ark Hwy 8
Fordyce, AR 71660

We will meet at the Bass Pro Pyramid north parking lot off Front Street (the smaller parking lot close to auto bridge over to Mud Island) at 8:45 am for those who would like to carpool. We will leave at 9:00 am.

About this park:
Three Civil War battles took place in south central Arkansas in the spring of 1864 as part of the Union Army’s Red River Campaign. The sites of these skirmishes – Poison Springs, Marks’ Mills, and Jenkins Ferry – and the 1836 Courthouse at Historic Washington State Park, which served as Arkansas’ Confederate capital, comprise the Red River Campaign National Historic Landmark.
