About Queen Wilhelmina State Park

This state park sits on Rich Mountain in the Ouachita range, offering wide mountain views from its renovated lodge. Its history traces back to a late-1800s Victorian resort built on the summit, and the current lodge is the third inn to occupy the site. Visitors can dine at the on-site restaurant, stay in lodge rooms or a cabin, and camp at the 41 campsites. Trails suit hikers and mountain bikers, and interpretive programs cover the mountain's wildlife, plants, and history. The park is reached by the Talimena National Scenic Byway.
