10 THINGS TO DO
Local attractions offer visitors, residents fun in Arkadelphia

1. VISIT THE DONALD W. REYNOLDS SCIENCE CENTER PLANETARIUM
The Reynolds Planetarium at Henderson State University is a one-of-a-kind place.
Open to the public for shows, star-gazing events, field trips and private functions, the
planetarium is located inside the Reynolds Science Center and run by the Department
of Engineering and Physics.
The Digitalis Epsilon Digital Projection system can project stars, planets, galaxies, and
virtually anything else onto the dome as they look in the real sky. Shows begin at 7 p.m.
Thursdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays.

2. VIEW THE MURAL AT CLARK PARK
In Clark Park, there is a 24-foot by 65-foot mural, " The Journey from a Dream to the
Promise, " painted by Dave Loewenstein. This larger-than-life piece of art depicts a
man's path through his future of becoming a successful educator. The work shows a boy
on the left holding a sapling, and a man on the right with a graduation cap handing the
sapling off to a child.

3. PLAY A ROUND AT DEGRAY LAKE RESORT STATE PARK
DeGray Lake Resort is home to a scenic 18-hole championship public golf course, which
is more than 6,900 yards from the back tees. The course offers a driving range, practice
green and chipping area. Groups of any size are welcome. Check out their Pro Shop.

4. TAKE A DRIVE ON SCENIC ARKANSAS HIGHWAY 7
Drive Scenic Byway 7 in Arkansas, the state's first state-designated scenic byway, and
travel through four of the state's varied geographical regions. Arguably one of the most
scenic drives in America, the route begins on the south end within the West Gulf Coastal
Plain, a region that saw an oil boom beginning in 1921 near El Dorado. It continues
to Camden and on to Arkadelphia through rolling terrain with dense pine forests and
stream valleys with bottomland hardwood forests.

5. TAKE A WALK DOWN THE DESOTO BLUFF TRAIL
The DeSoto Bluff Trail in Arkadelphia is a flat .25-mile trail that takes visitors through
a natural area and ends at the famous overlook. A view of the Ouachita River can be
seen below the bluff overlook. The bluff is named after Hernando de Soto, the Spanish
explorer who led an expedition into the southern U.S. Interpretive panels along the trail
give details about this expedition. There are also panels that give information on local
native American cultures, including the Caddo Indians, who once lived in the area. Be
sure to stop and take in the beauty of nature at the newly renovated DeSoto Pavilion.

6. SPEND A MORNING AT THE CLARK COUNTY FARMERS MARKET
Founded in 2012 by a group of dedicated volunteers, the Clark County Farmers Market
provides a venue where local farmers, producers, crafters and artisans come together
to provide a variety of fresh produce and related products directly to the consumers
of Clark County and surrounding areas. The market encourages direct communication
between consumers and growers and fosters social gathering and community building.
