About Louisiana Purchase State Park
This National Historic Landmark in eastern Arkansas marks the place where surveys of land bought in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase began. A raised boardwalk crosses a headwater swamp and leads to a granite monument at the survey origin. Wayside exhibits explain the purchase and its role in opening the American West, and other panels describe the lowland plants and animals. Restrooms are at the trailhead.
