Village Creek State Park - Wynne, Arkansas

While traveling on the eastern part of Arkansas, I made time to drop in at Village Creek State Park near Wynne, Arkansas.

Check out a few of the photos I snagged during my visit!

While at the park, you can walk on an intact segment of the Trail of Tears as part of the trails. The trail was used not only by the Cherokee in the Bell detachment (named for the conductor of the detachment, John Bell, the first to take this specific path west), but also Choctaws, Creeks, and Chickasaws during their removals.

I visited the park museum, chatted with a few staff, and walked a short trail. The weather was beautiful and it even sprinkled on me as I walked out onto the fishing pier.

Village Creek State Park encompasses nearly 7,000 acres of beautiful forested hills and clear streams to create an environment found nowhere else in Arkansas. There are 33 miles of multi-use trails, campgrounds with bathhouses, an equestrian campground with stable facilities, cabins, two lakes, a day-use area with pavilions and picnic sites, outdoor and indoor theaters, a small museum, and a visitor center with a gift shop.
