Baker Prairie in Harrison preserves the beauty and nature of the long grass prairies that once spread across acres of America's land.

Bull Shoals State Park on magnificent Bull Shoals Lake actively protects the natural beauty and wildlife of the region while offering visitors a variety of camping experiences in scenic campgrounds.
