We
invite you to have “More Fun Per Gallon” in Arkansas this year. Each day we
will be blogging on different Arkansas destinations which can be reached on one
tank of gas or less. This is basically every corner of The Natural State. We
hope these suggestions help you in planning a trip to remember.
Springs to Rowdy Adventures in Okolona
Rowdy
Adventures, a 300-acre outdoor adventure park ( that includes zip line tours)
in Okolona. The park bills itself as the South’s largest outdoor adventure
park. The zip line tour takes adventurers on a three-mile tour by harnessing
them with all the necessary equipment to soar through the air and enjoy the
scenery.
New for the season
is Night Zipping, and it’s the only place in Arkansas that offers this. They light
up the whole course with glow sticks and the option is available by reservation
only and on Saturday nights only ( starting at 8:30 p.m.)
to more details, the park has 14 zip lines and the longest tree based cable run
( known as the ‘Hole in the Sky”)
that’s been accredited by the ACCT (Association for Challenge Course
Technology). The park also has
some interesting historical ties such as the Old Iron Bridge ( the park is
built around the bridge which crosses the Little Missouri River) and the site of a Civil war skirmish.
New for this season are canoe, motorized kayak, and float rentals for use on
the Little Missouri River. There is also a rock wall.
