Above the clouds on Arkansas's second tallest peak, Queen Wilhelmina State Park overlooks the folded ridges and valleys of the Ouachita Mountains. Rich Mountain, which rises 2,681 feet above sea level, is noted for an abundance of Arkansas wildflowers, and migrations of birds, bears and butterflies. The park is located on the famous Talimena Scenic Drive, and most visitors agree that getting to the park is as enjoyable as being there. This is a place for relaxing and sightseeing amidst breathtaking panoramic scenery.
