Southern Arkansas - Timberlands Holiday Packages

Experience adventure Arkansan style in the state’s south, where crystal-like lakes and forest reserves sit alongside fantastic museums and national heritage sites.

Southern Arkansas and the Timberlands region are renowned for magnificent forests, wildlife reserves, natural hot springs, glittering diamonds and historic state parks. Visit this tree-studded region to find welcoming communities and busy towns. Visit the hometown of former U.S. president Bill Clinton, learn about the blacksmithing trade and take a dip at a 19th-century bathhouse.

Pine Bluff is the largest town in the Timberlands region. This commercial centre contains the Arkansas Railroad Museum, the Delta Rivers Nature Centre and the Arkansas Entertainers Hall of Fame. Stop by the little town of Hope to see Bill Clinton’s birthplace and experience the town’s annual watermelon festival in August. El Dorado and Smackover offer a fascinating insight into the region’s oil boom in the 1920s and 1930s.

Near to El Dorado is the breathtaking forest preserve of Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge, a favourite recreational spot for locals and visitors. Check out the hands-on forging workshops dating back to the 1830s at Historic Washington State Park.

Discover Southern Arkansas’ reputation for glittering minerals at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro. This diamond-producing site is the only one of its kind open to the public. Dig for diamonds at the same place where America’s largest diamond was unearthed and keep your lucky strike. Mount Ida is also dotted with glimmering quartz mines that are open to visiting prospectors.

See a unique range of plant and animal species in the Ouachita Mountains. The Ouachita National Recreational Trail carves a path through the mountain scenery for over 220 miles (350 kilometres). While here, be sure to stop by Hot Springs National Park and its famous Bathhouse Row after a day’s adventuring to soak your muscles in one of the 19th-century hot spring baths. The area also contains a local brewery, restaurants and luxury accommodation.

Catch a plane to South Arkansas Regional Airport or the Billy Free Memorial Airport. Southern Arkansas and Timberlands are best explored by car, so that you can make the most of the region’s destinations and mountain scenery at your own pace.

Very dirty. I stayed here a year ago and they said it was under construction. It looked even dirtier a year later. Also everything is broken. The outside door just flings open—no lock.

There were coins in the floor and there was an awful smell in the air at the hotel the whole time. Staff was very friendly, but the hotel could use a remodel and they could clean them a better. All in all it was not a bad stay, just a few things that could be better!

If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19, you'll notice a raft of new rules and regulations in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Southern Arkansas go off without a hitch:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
  • When you go through airport screening, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it to confirm your identity. Those who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should place the pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • TSA is now allowing passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will need to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Remove items from your pockets, like your wallet, phone and small change, and place them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
