About Hobbs State Park – Conservation Area

Hobbs is Arkansas's largest state park, covering rolling wooded terrain beside Beaver Lake. It is mainly a day-use park with an extensive network of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, plus two accessible hiking routes. Visitors can reach primitive campsites by foot or bike, and the park also offers a regulated hunting program in the fall. Its conservation mission protects Ozark habitat, including several threatened and endangered bat species. The visitor center holds exhibits on the park's natural resources and history, and the park hosts interpretive programs and events through the year, including guided kayak tours on the lake from May to October.
