Welcome to
Western Arkansas' Mountain Frontier
Legendary getaway to the American West, Western Arkansas’ Mountain Frontier is still an outpost for pure adventure. Still wild and rugged, the Frontier is a place of extremes. The highest point in The Natural State is here, the summit of Mount Magazine. Its swiftest rapids are here too, the crushing Cossatot River. In the same wilderness where fabled lawmen like Bass Reeves chased gunslingers, today’s frontier heroes chase life experiences.
But the old stories are still told, and many of the original structures still stand. After its life as a frontier getaway, the area would become a training ground for American soldiers and a beacon of entertainment and commerce. Today’s frontier has another side, full of museums and galleries, restaurants and local wineries. Can rustic be refined? Absolutely, and soon you’ll be a believer.
