Discovering the Little Grand Canyon in Arkansas


There is a little-known geological wonder in Southern Arkansas, often referred to as "The Little Grand Canyon." 




These distinctive sand and rock formations are located at the edge of White Oak Lake in Chidester, and are not well-known beyond the local community. Visitors can hike around the rim of the canyon and explore several trails that lead down to the crystal-clear, blue-green waters below.



The formations themselves are composed of hard-packed sand and shale rocks, with a unique blend of white, dark gray, and rust-colored hues. Hiking trails wind throughout the area, and locals love to cool off in the refreshing waters during the summer months



To access this hidden gem, visitors can drive to the end of the road and park in the clearing just inside the woods



 It's a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty of Arkansas.



Address:

 218 Ouachita Rd 332
 Chidester, AR 71726

GPS cordinates:

33.700436, -93.099361




Enjoy Your Visit!

  1. I am really not sure. There is one area that stays deep all the time and it seems to have a continuous slow flow.

  4. A nice camping area is located within the White Oak State Park. It is about an eleven mile drive from this area.

  8. GPS will be of immense use to you if you have deployed a large fleet of cars for commercial purpose. You can get access to locations and reports related to the specific event. You can get information related to your car, for a past period of 90 days. Electronic Logging Devices
