Embrace the thrilling wilderness of Cossatot River State Park, where children can learn about the environment and kayakers can take on the challenge of a formidable set of rapids. This scenic patch of western Arkansas offers a combination of gentle interpretive trails, demanding hikes and exhilarating whitewater rafting. Start your exploration of the state park in the stylish and expansive Cossatot Visitor Information Centre, which is open daily. Enjoy interactive exhibits on the history and geography of the region and learn about the tours you can take in the park. The visitor centre also runs programmes and workshops throughout the year. The name of the river comes from an indigenous word meaning “skull-crusher,” indicating the dangers of the rapids. Join a rafting expedition down the fast-moving Cossatot for heart-pounding thrills. These rapids are recommended for experienced canoeists and rafters. The state park covers about 12 miles (19 kilometres) of the river. Follow one of the interpretive trails that wind through the leafy state park. The Bushy Creek Nature Trail and the Waterleaf Interpretive Trail are short and family-friendly, with walkways running past picnic points and leading to safe swimming areas. Information boards offer facts about the trees that grow in the park. Adventurous walkers can try the River Corridor Trail, which is about 12.5 miles (20 kilometres) long and cuts through the dramatic terrain of the Ouachita Mountains, leading to some of the best views in the park. Pick up a booklet from the information area on the rare plants that grow in the park. The Harris Creek Trail is more accessible and crosses through multiple varied habitats. Drive here in about 90 minutes from Texarkana or Hot Springs and park by the visitor centre. Cossatot River State Park is available to visit throughout the year, but the woods of Arkansas are particularly impressive during the colourful months of fall. ## Plan a trip to see Cossatot River State Park Price found within the past 48 hours.
