I definitely recommend someone that is going to Arkansas to visit Little Rock at least for a day or two, Little Rock has many museums and historical attractions available. If you do decide to go to Little Rock i recommend visiting the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site.
We will start Arkansas by going to the Ouachita Mountains!
Hot Springs National Park
This hot springs in the Ouachita Mountains have been a very popular tourist destination. Indians in the past believed they had healing powers. The park has old bathhouses that for the public use and an observation tower where people can go up to check the visual.
Even though I'm not a big fan of touristy points like this, I found interesting the spiritual value given to these hot springs by the people that live there.
Buffalo National River
The Buffalo National River is a narrow unpolluted river. The area close to the river is protected and therefore untouched by men, so there is a very rich variety of wildlife around. Hikers and horseback riders can go through those areas by taking trails.
Mammoth Spring State Park
Located inside the town of Mammoth Springs (a cute little town that's worth spending some time around) the Mammoth Spring State Park has one of the largest springs in the US, where the water flow is about 9 million gallons of water per hour. Also in the park, there is a restored old train depot to check out.
Mount Magazine State Park
This Park is amazing for who is into adventure!
It is a destination for rock climbers, hikers, bikers and ATV riders.
So if you are in the mood for doing something a little bit more adventurous Mount Magazine is the perfect destination.
