Trip #3c Petit Jean State Park, AR (23Apr-1May 2017)


Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas

One of Arkansas’s finest state parks, Petit Jean State Park lies in a unique area between the Ozark and Ouachita Mountain ranges in west-central Arkansas. This, Arkansas's first state park, includes 2,658 acres of natural beauty on Petit Jean Mountain.  In this lovely mountain setting are an abundance of unmarred woods, ravines, streams, springs, waterfalls, spectacular views and surprising geological formations preserved almost as French explorers found them 300 years ago.

Exploring the "Winthrop Rockefeller Institute"

The Winthrop Rockefeller Institute exists to honor and perpetuate the remarkable legacy of a remarkable man. Established in 2005 when the Winthrop Rockefeller Charitable Trust granted the University of Arkansas System a 188-acre campus that was once part of the home and cattle farm of Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller, the Institute perpetuates Rockefeller’s strong belief in the power of collaboration and in the free exchange of ideas.
