Arkansas Post National Memorial

Visitors center is still closed, but a ranger was outside to answer any questions, stamp passport books, and give out maps and pamphlets. Very well maintained park with great trails, lots of history and wildlife, and peace and quiet. Nice picnic area as well (bathrooms located here as visitors center is closed)

I loved this place. I enjoyed the history of it all as well as how serene and peaceful it was.

In 1783 the first battle took place at the Post between the French and Brittish during the American Revolutionary War. The canons are Spanish 8 pounders of that era. The battle is explained in signs overlooking what was the Confluence of the Mississippi River, but is now an oxbow lake.

Beautifully preserved post. The museum was an amazing point of information.

Great trails for anyone. Geese and goslings in the spring. Deer, gators, armadillo, and raccoons year long. Very friendly Park Rangers.

The pond Alligator was enjoying the warm weather today 2/23/23

Always love coming to the Post. So beautiful and always full of nature! Even my cat loves it!

Nice place. Wear your walking shoes since theres a lot of places to walk. The visitors center has a lot of stuff to learn about and a video on the post. There are alligators in the water, so watch you small pets and children.

Really neat place with a ton of history! The visitor's center closes at 5, but the grounds stay open until dark. Make sure you get there in time to see the twenty minute video; it will give you a great overview of the place.
The old town section is interesting - still a foundation or two remaining. Lots of birds all over the park. Saw some armadillos on the nature trail. The bayou trail was scenic; be careful of alligators (didn't see any) and mosquitos! I also heard there are ticks. So, probably double up on the bug spray.
The rangers are very nice and were available for all kinds of questions!

Love this park! Clean and spacious grounds. We look forward to coming back!

Beautiful hidden gem of a park!

Very good park with unknown to me history.

A very nice park with significant historical value over several pivotal periods of the United States of America.

This place is extremely important to the history of Arkansas and the opening of the Louisiana Territory after the Louisiana Purchase. The early remnants of the village is interesting. The story if the battle fought there during the Revolution and the battle during the War Between The States are little known, but have a very fascinating perspective. I also found the Spanish style fortification to be a srartling contrast to the English style. Well worth the visit.

Typical of most NPS sites, Arkansas Post is well managed ,very interesting, and is staffed by a knowledgeable and helpful ranger staff. I visited primarily to learn more about the Civil War battle, but did not realize that a British raiding party attacked a Spanish garrison in one of last battles of the American Revolution. I walked much of the excellent trail system, did not see any gators but the staff told me there are some giants.

Love this place. We saw some unusual wildlife during our visit. My mom and sister enjoyed fishing.

Loved watching the alligators.

It's so beautiful. The trails are easy to walk. A lot of history, a lot of markers telling you about the history.

Very nice place for short trekking and nice views and museum very well.

Very interesting place. My great great grandpa fought here for the confederates. The fort is gone but there's still a lot to see.
