To the surprise of no one, Hawksbill Crag was recently declared Arkansas’ most beautiful spot. This beloved Natural State treasure isn’t new to recognition; after all, it’s made headlines for being the best spot for proposals, most photographic, and most romantic! We’ll never get tired of taking this picture-perfect trail!
The actual crag earned the title for most beautiful but this whole area is simply gorgeous.

We haven’t even reached the overlook yet, but we’re sure you’ll already be in love.
AllTrails/Veronica Ussery The entire trail is a beautiful retreat in the trees. The trek is just under three miles long and is rated as moderate. The path is rather rocky at the inclines but most decently-fit families will be able to tackle this trail.
There’s plenty of places to explore before you reach the peak!
AllTrails/Bill Jones In addition to the interesting rock features, the Hawksbill Crag trail has multiple waterfalls to find! For assistance in the chasing, read this article.
Hawksbill Crag, also known as Whitaker’s Point, is well-deserving of the beauty title.

So whether you’re looking out from the bluff…

…or walking around the ridge to get “The Shot,” Hawksbill Crag is a beautiful spot!
AllTrails/Samuel Lynch This is one spot we want to keep protecting so (like with any Arkansas trail) be sure to leave no trace! You’ll also need to watch younger children (and anyone for that matter) when you’ve reached the cliffs. For more trail information and a map, head here.
