Guide ARK is Arkansas’ trusted network of verified outdoor guides, connecting adventurers with experts for high-quality outdoor experiences across every season.
The Arkansas Office of Outdoor Recreation developed Guide ARK to give adventurers a reliable resource for finding expert guides. Every guide in the directory is licensed, insured, and held to standards for safety and professionalism so you can explore with confidence, guided by the pros.

Listing your business in the Guide ARK directory is free, voluntary, and an effective way to reach more customers and grow your business.
Verified guides are promoted by the State of Arkansas and featured on Arkansas.com, the state’s official tourism website, where visitors actively plan trips to The Natural State. Your directory profile includes business and contact information, a photo, and a link to your website to drive bookings directly to you.
Guide ARK verification also gives your business a credential worth promoting. Verified guides can highlight their status on websites, social media, and marketing materials as a signal to customers that you meet the state’s standards for licensing, insurance, and professionalism.
