What is there to do in Mount Magazine State Park?
At 2,753 feet in elevation, Mount Magazine is the highest point in Arkansas. Visitors can enjoy recreational activities including hiking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, rock climbing, and hang gliding. Additional amenities include a restaurant and pool at the lodge.
Mount Magazine State Park is in Paris, Arkansas which is two hours south of our home in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We recently booked a cabin for a weekend stay. We pulled up to the cabin and my first impression was that it was big and gorgeous and completely exceeded my expectations.
The cabin we rented had two bedrooms and two bathrooms along with a wraparound deck where we could take in the amazing views of the Petit Jean River Valley.
One of our favorite things about the cabin was the private hot tub. We enjoyed relaxing under the stars each night. Additional outdoor amenities include a charcoal grille and picnic table.
Vaulted wood ceilings, a stone fireplace, and leather couches created a cozy atmosphere inside the cabin. There was a full kitchen where we could make our own meals.
mount magazine lodge
The cabins are spaced far enough a part that I felt we had enough privacy, but they are also close enough to the lodge that it is easy (and beautiful) to walk there. The lodge has sixty guest rooms and fabulous amenities including an indoor swimming pool and a gift shop.
mount magazine lodge restaurant
We enjoyed breakfast and dinner at Skycrest Restaurant at the lodge. The food was good, and the views were unbelievable.
You can make reservations for the cabins, lodge, or campsites at Mount Magazine on the state park’s website.
Overall, I was blown away by Mount Magazine’s views and accommodations. It was such an easy, relaxing trip.
