Looking for an adrenaline rush? If you have an appetite for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. Our breathtaking scenery beckons thrill seekers and our diverse landscape provides an outlet for your adventurous spirit.
Via Air
If you enjoy the freedom of free falling, strap on a parachute, JUMP, and soak up a breathtaking panoramic view of Arkansas via a skydive. If smoothly soaring high above the land is more your style, hang gliding is another route to get your sky miles in. Take in expansive views from atop 2,753-foot Mount Magazine, the state's tallest mountain, or soar above the Arkansas River Valley from 1,350-foot Mount Nebo.
Via Engine
For adventure seekers that enjoy the high-speed power of motocross riding, tracks like the Pine Bluff MX host courses for enthusiasts to unleash their energy on. For those that prefer BMX action there are five BMX motocross complexes located here for riders to maneuver their bikes across including Cabot BMX Complex, Rock City BMX, Bonzai BMX at Burns Park, Mudtown BMX Track in Lowell and Speedy’s BMX Raceway in Fayetteville.
For off-road connoisseurs, ATV hot spots include the Ozark National Forest, Mill Creek, Wolf Pen Gap, Moccasin Gap, Fourche Mountain, and Huckleberry Mountain. Dune buggies can also be rented to explore the mountains of North Arkansas.
Via Land
Taking on the terrain of long trails via a mountain bike or hike are always dependable sources of adventure. The International Mountain Bicycling Association has named two trails in the state EPIC routes: The Womble Trail in the Ouachita Mountains and the Syllamo Trail near Mountain View. Trekkers can explore the 168-mile Ozark Highlands National Recreation Trail or the 223-mile Ouachita National Recreation Trail.

Via Mountains
Some of the best rock climbing in the nation can be found in Arkansas. Grab your climbing shoes, chalk bag, and harness and explore the vertical world of the Ozark and Ouachita mountain ranges. Sam’s Throne and Horseshoe Canyon Ranch are a few of the destinations climbers can head to. Bouldering is also big here.
Via Water
For water junkies, the Cossatot River forms Cossatot Falls, a rugged and rocky canyon that hosts Class IV and V rapids for canoeists and kayakers. Wakeboarders can practice their craft on 600,000 acres of lakes (including 40,100 acre Lake Ouachita-the largest in the state) located across the state and scuba divers and parasailers can enjoy the view both under and over our watery terrain.
Adventure takes many forms in Arkansas. No matter what your sport, if adventure is on your agenda, we’ve got you covered.
