OUR TAKE ON SEARCY
Northeast of the big city of Little Rock, Searcy, Arkansas is the perfect vacation spot for travelers seeking a quieter atmosphere. Nestled between the Ozark mountains and adjacent farmland, Searcy’s website boasts they’re “where thousands live as millions wish they could.” Nearby 2000 acre Pinnacle Mountain State Park provides over 40 miles of hiking trails, boat launches, expertly guided canoe trips, and it’s home to the impressive 71 acre Arkansas Arboretum. The Park is named for its most dramatic natural feature: Pinnacle Mountain, rising over 1000 feet above the Arkansas River Valley below. Because Pinnacle Mountain is for daylight activity only, overnight campers are diverted to excellent facilities at nearby Maumelle Park, less than 4 miles away.
Sports enthusiasts love Searcy’s Sports Complex with nearly sports fields, a baseball-soccer complex, walking tracks and basketball courts. The complex includes over 115 acres of land. Searcy’s Riverside Park has boat launch facilities, a paved trail suitable for wheelchairs, and over 133 acres of land. The town has two 18-hole golf courses. Nearby, you’ll discover Greers Ferry Lake for Searcy Vacation swimming, hunting, fishing, and a myriad of outdoor activity. Searcy is a great area for outdoor adventure and family camping; however, city lovers might prefer traveling the extra 50 miles to nearby Little Rock.
