The official state nickname of Arkansas is \"The Natural State,\" and the government has done what it can to live up to this billing by maintaining 52 parks located throughout the state. These parks cover a great diversity of landscapes, from mountaintops to the banks of rivers to tree-lined forests and everything in between. If you are planning a trip to visit one of these fine parks and wish to stay overnight, cabins are available to rent in several of the locations.
Nestled deep in Lee Creek Valley, Devil's Den State Park features a stone dam that helped create a natural lake in the heart of the park. Visitors can rent canoes, tandem kayaks, and water bikes to explore the acres of water. Mountain bike trails, picnic areas, and a swimming pool can also be found on-site. Seventeen cabins are available to rent, each featuring fully-equipped kitchens, fireplaces, and satellite television. The cabins are available to rent year-round, and rates vary by season. Information about reservations can be found on the park's website.
