You can re-trace the longest stagecoach route in the history of the world - by driving a portion of it through northwest Arkansas by way of the Butterfield Heritage Trail. A gem of a hiking trail that's hardly been publicized until now, is the one that loops around Lake Alma in the town of Alma. A unique mountain biking experience along Crowley's Ridge can be enjoyed at Village Creek State Park north of Forrest City. Hiking and blue-ribbon smallmouth bass fishing are offered at the Conservation Education Center along Crooked Creek near Yellville.
