Davidsonville Historic State Park

Davidsonville Historic State Park is in Pocahontas, Arkansas. The Park was the location of Arkansas' first post office and courthouse. Today, visitors can explore trails, learn more about local history at the visitor's center, camp at any of the 20 sites, and fish in the lake or river. The Park backs the Black River and a fishing lake, making it a perfect place to go fishing. The visitor center even has boat rentals! There are four trails that visitors can explore: the Black River Trail, Historic Townsite Trail, Scott Cemetery Trail, and the Trapper Lake Trail. Do note that you must check-in at the visitor center if you choose to camp. You can make reservations up to a year in advance. Be sure to check out the visitor center to see the 1820s hunter-trapper flatboat replica and listen to the audio tour that gives more detail of the land's history!
