Friends said, "let's go to Arkansas for a week'. I thought they were kidding, "Arkansas for a week!!"
We did Hot Springs (2 nights) and Petet Jean State Park (1 night) and 2 nights at the DeGray Resort. We enjoyed all our stops but could have stayed at DeGray Lake a whole week. A newer facility designed as a conference center has a lot going for it, not the least of which is the staff. Birds galore (scissor tail fly catchers, pilliated woodpeckers) -- and I'm not a birder! Rent a bike,rent a kayak or boat and enjoy the beauty of the park and the lake. Food good and very reasonably priced. We (4 active seniors) were there in early May and had the park to ourselves. Next time we will bring our golf clubs, the course looked fine and it was very reasonably priced.
Arkansas for a week?? Yes!!!
