This review is from: Hiking Arkansas: Nature Walks and Day Hikes (Paperback)
I have so far not been on my Arkansas trip so I haven't checked the accuracy of the directions, etc., but, like most of the hiking books in this series, it seems to give a comprehensive view of the highlights of hiking trips in this state.
