Little Rock
Little Rock, the state's capital and largest city, is located on the banks of the Arkansas River, almost exactly in the state's center. A significant cultural, economic, and transportation hub for the area, it is named after a rock formation that was previously utilized as a landmark and crossing point.
Its ancient downtown is lively yet relaxed, with many intriguing attractions including stunning landmarks, museums, art galleries, theaters, and cultural centers. It also has some serene and lovely parks, including Riverside Park, which proudly displays the recognizable rocks after which the city is named.
While hiking, biking, and boating can be enjoyed in its breathtaking surroundings, there are many wonderful cafes, restaurants, and pubs strewn about. Little Rock may seem small and inconspicuous for a state capital, but the nearby Ouachita National Forest and Ozark Mountains provide more than enough entertainment for visitors to enjoy themselves for days.
