    More About Arkansas

    It's not called The Natural State for nothing. Arkansas has a number of lakes where people enjoy fishing and boating. In many, the water's so clear you can scuba dive or take underwater pictures. There are also 52 state parks to discover. Adventurers choose to go spelunking, hike to waterfalls that give Hawaii a run for its money, or search for diamonds at the only public diamond mine on our planet.

    To encourage people to get out and enjoy this outdoor splendor, the Arkansas government offers many programs for families and seniors. For example, you can learn about health initiatives and how the state uses natural resources to invite residents on healthy walking trails.

    The Arkansas History Commission has an in-depth library of military records dating back to the Civil War. If you are interested in American history, you'll really enjoy all the history commission offers.
