Arkansas Grand Canyon — Attraction in Harrison

If you are traveling to the Buffalo River area, the Arkansas Grand Canyon is definitely worth a quick stop. I came across the Arkansas Grand Canyon while traveling toward the Buffalo National River, and I am so glad I stopped.

There is a small gift shop on-site, which is convenient if you want a drink, or a local souvenir. Restrooms are also available, which makes this stop even more practical during a road trip. Parking is free and available on both sides of the gift shop, so it’s easy to pull over without hassle.

Overall, it’s a good, quick stop with stunning natural beauty and the basic amenities you’d want while traveling. Highly recommend taking a few minutes here. you...

There are also some other good places to pull off to the side on Hwy 7 headed south from Jasper. We were going down to Russellville, so we stopped a few times. It's a beautiful, winding, hilly journey from Harrison to Russellville! However, Scenic Point has a very wide view of the lush green canyon with a four-level deck structure one can climb to get a much higher-up...
