About Queen Wilhelmina State Park

A lodge sits atop Rich Mountain, the second-highest peak in the Ouachita Mountains, placing the park along a ridge within that range. The land is managed as a unit of the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism, protecting mountain terrain that draws visitors to its elevation and setting. It has operated under state park status since 1957, giving it a long-standing role in the region's public lands.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
