Magazine mountain was beautiful and HOT. I would suggest starting earlier or later in the day. There are multiple ways up to the summit, its kind of underwhelming compared to some of the peaks we have been on, you cant see anything more than trees. The summit has a lot of little features that make it worth it. The drive up is stunning

Pretty nice free state park in Arkansas. Some great views on the northern side, but the summit is rather boring and uneventful. Short hike takes you to the top, is unpleasant after a heavy rain because of mud. However, the park is still a great place to hike and explore nature.

Questions & Answers

When is a good time to see the fall colors this year. THANKS

In the fall. Thought that would be obvious. Okay, kidding. Honestly, it's usually mid October to mid November. The weather changes a lot down here in the South, Fall isn't as reliable as it is in places like New England. But the time frame I gave you is a pretty good bet.

Can you camp there

Carole Duane Brink | May 2, 2020
Gary Fortney | May 3, 2020

Is there a playground at one of the locations up here?

Harold Langston | May 2, 2020
Inu Yasha | May 3, 2020

No playgrounds, but my kids (6-12) had a blast hiking, the scenic overlooks, and the guest center with a small educational museum. Note, we hiked from the lodge to the peak and then out to the overlooks. Also, we did not camp (or stay in the lodge or cabins) since we were just there for the day. You can get to the scenic overlook and the guest center by driving or hiking. Some kids or smaller children (or even adults) who aren't good with hiking may not enjoy the trails.
