Ozark Mountains - What to do and where to stay

Question

I'm planning a family vacation, and we would like to visit the Ozark Mountains. Any recommendations of what to do/see there and which town or hotel to stay in.... perferably in Arkansas.

Answer 1

Do a tour of the State Parks.  They have some great ones with caves and waterfalls.  You can swing south to Little Rock and do the hot spring baths or you could plan time at the Riddle's Elephant Sanctuary if you are going to be there when they are open (not a tourist attraction - but they do an open house the first Saturday of every month between 11 - 3pm).  Ozarks are perfect though for hiking / camping / photos etc - you can't go wrong doing the State Parks.
