In 1923 Petit Jean became the first state park in Arkansas thanks to the efforts of Dr. T.W. Hardison. In 1933, 75 years ago, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) laid the foundation for the park as we know it today. Join us for activities and programs exploring the park's heritage, including the famous riddle hunt. Bring your family and let’s celebrate the founding of Petit Jean State Park and the Arkansas State Park System during this holiday weekend. Contact the park for a detailed activity schedule.
