Mount Nebo State Park has long been an attraction for travelers to sightsee at mountaintop overlooks.
Rising 1,850 feet above sea level, Mount Nebo is one of a series of mountain peaks in the Arkansas River Valley region. When skies are clear, you can see
Petit Jean Mountain in the east and
Mount Magazine to the west. Arkansas travelers have long journeyed to Mount Nebo, to relax in the cool mountain temperatures, to retrieve water from the many natural springs, and to take in the scenic beauty for miles around.
Mount Nebo, one of Arkansas's first state parks, offers
cabins,
camping and
hiking trails with sweeping views of the Arkansas River Valley. Native stone and logs were used by the
Civilian Conservation Corps to construct many of the park's bridges, trails, cabins and pavilions. The park offers 35
campsites, 14 fully-equipped mountaintop
cabins with kitchens, miles of
trails,
hang gliding launch sites, and opportunities to enjoy
beautiful sunsets and star gazing.
