Arkansas Highlights
Arkansas' state motto is "The Natural State," and that tells you a lot. It has great state parks with wilderness comprised of broadleaf forests. The Northwest boasts the Ozark Mountains while the southern and eastern regions of the state have flatter land and show more of the state's agricultural heritage. The Mississippi River forms the eastern border of the state. Arkansas has a great blues music heritage, is a hotbed for country music (Johnny Cash was an Arkansan), and folk and bluegrass music are everywhere. There are wonderful state parks with camping facilities, and some include cabins. The Buffalo River features majestic scenery and offers easy canoe float trips. The summer is hot and humid; spring and autumn are wetter, but mostly from intermittent heavy rain showers. Winter brings a little snow, but this time of year can still be humid. Spring is tornado season.
The spelling and pronunciation of "Arkansas" (it is always ar-kan-saw) reflect the state's heritage. The name is a French pronunciation of a Siouxan word meaning "land of downriver people," and was prescribed by law in 1881. It is technically still illegal to mispronounce the name (the law contains a clause stating that "the variation ar-KAN-sas is an innovation to be discouraged"), so be careful!*
