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.
