My mom and I had the unique opportunity to visit when snow covered the boardwalk, and the swamp was entirely frozen over. I’ve been to many swamps but never one frozen solid. The cold made the park incredibly peaceful. Only met one couple on the short boardwalk. Otherwise, no life forms to be seen. The animals must have been too cold to make an appearance. We arrived late in the day and got to witness the sun setting through the pretty trees. The Water Tupelo trees (and a few bald cypress) were stunning and reminded me why I love the South so much. It was neat to imagine the people from days past who erected the monument in such a interesting location. (Seriously right in the middle of a swamp?!) No facilities or fees to enter. Two porta potties by the boardwalk entrance are the only services. The road getting there was narrow and a little rough. We saw literally thousands of snow geese, a possum, and an armadillo on the drive in.

You won't find a visitors center or hiking trails at this state park but it's definitely worth a visit! I arrived about an hour before dark and was the only visitor there at the time. The swamp was darker along the boardwalk with the canopy overhead and full of noises from birds, small splashes, and bugs. It was an eery, yet exciting experience. Be sure to bring bug spray though! The bugs will eat you alive if not. If you get the chance, you must visit this unique state park. I never expected to find something like this in Arkansas.

This was great place to stop for lunch and walk along a boardwalk out into the swamp where a pivotal piece of American history occurred. It is a short hike with interesting information about the lousania purchase. There are no facilities here just porta potties.

A pleasant little park with wooden walkways over the swamp from which cypress trees grow. The L'Anguille Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in Marianna, Arkansas, placed a monument on the site in 1926 to mark the point from which the Louisiana Purchase (1803) was surveyed. No facilities. Good parking. Shaded easy level walkways.

Very unique place. Just bring insect repellent. Very informative. Will warn that it is literally in the middle of nowhere so don't expect lunch and lodging nearby. It's just a one of a kind place.n
