Arkansas land and real estate

Arkansas land overview

Arkansas isn't called "The Natural State" for nothing, as it's home to a variety of beautiful landscapes and breathtaking scenery. From miles of lakes, rivers, and streams, dense timberland, and rich farmland to emerald hot springs, river deltas, and sprawling mountains, Arkansas has an abundance of nature and what seems like an endless number of vistas to explore. The state has a large amount of public land including numerous state parks, forests, and wildlife areas, national forests and wildlife refuges, historical sites, and campgrounds. Arkansas has a history in plantation agriculture, and farming still plays a key role in its economy today, as it has been the U.S.'s largest producer of rice, broilers, and turkeys. Rich in minerals and dense forest acreage, mining and forestry are a major part of the economy as well. Arkansas is known for the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains, where people love to take advantage of recreational opportunities such as biking, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and caving.
