Place was nice, had a good walk, but the water fall was trickling.

I grew up near Petit Jean State Park and never appreciated the park for what it was. Now that I am older, I see how beautiful the park is, how much there is to do there, and just getting an opportunity to enjoy God's creation.

Good photo opportunities. Petit Jean and Mt. Magazine are close enough together that they should both be visited if you are viewing fall foliage. Petit Jean has cabins for rent, as well as a first class lodge. Great place to overnight for fall foliage.

The Majestic waterfall , blue hole, the nature trials, the wldlife , seven hollows and the scenics. Untainted beauty well preserved and certainly well maintained. Camping (tent/tee pee), fishing, canoeing, bird watching, photography, pet zoo, antique auto museum and trial rides are popular...

Leave your cell phone home- no signal found here! Just relax, chill out and barbecue a steak. Lots of hiking and neat things to see. Wonderful views of the Arkansas river from the Petit Jean grave site.
