The capitol of Arkansas is Little Rock. The state is split between the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, and in the south forest covers much of the territory. Near the Louisiana border, parkland like the Presidential National Wildlife Refuge on Interstate-82 - near Crossett - are areas of outstanding natural beauty.

The state line runs along much of the Mississippi River to the east. In the south is Louisiana where the River Sabine empties into the Gulf of Mexico. West lies Texas and Oklahoma. To the north the metropolitan areas of Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers and Fort Smith are heavily populated, and economically very vibrant.

One of Arkansas’ well-loved sports is fishing. The Norfork water and White River areas benefited greatly from the creation of the Norfork Dam. These are just some of the destinations for trout fishers looking for river or lake sport.
