Find a Park for Any Occasion

Blending natural beauty with modern group facilities, Arkansas State Parks offer memorable settings for meetings, retreats, conferences, weddings and family reunions. These parks offer a wide range of recreation options, comfortable lodging and on-site dining that make it easy to bring everyone together. With space to gather and plenty to do beyond the event itself, every group can create an experience that feels both effortless and meaningful.

Conferences and Meetings

Plan a meeting that feels less like work and more like a reward. Arkansas state parks offer flexible meeting facilities for groups ranging from small teams to large conferences, including spaces that accommodate up to 1,000 attendees. Modern amenities, scenic backdrops and nearby outdoor experiences create an environment that sparks fresh thinking. Add on-site dining and overnight lodging, and you have everything needed for a seamless and memorable corporate retreat.

Look over the lake from the conference/meeting facility at Lake Dardanelle State Park. Take a meeting break and step out onto the deck overlooking the Arkansas River Valley at Pinnacle Mountain State Park or enjoy the view of Lake DeGray during your business lunch at DeGray Lake Resort State Park.

Weddings

For couples dreaming of an unforgettable setting, Arkansas State Parks offer wedding venues that feel as meaningful as the moment itself. From intimate indoor spaces to breathtaking outdoor backdrops, these scenic locations turn “I do” into an experience guests will never forget.

Exchange vows atop Mount Magazine, Arkansas’s highest peak, where sweeping views stretch across river valleys and distant mountains. Say yes beside the clear, peaceful waters of DeGray Lake, or celebrate in a “castle in the sky” at Queen Wilhelmina. For a touch of timeless charm, Historic Washington offers a beautifully preserved setting rich with character and romance.

Whether your vision is grand or intimate, classic or one of a kind, a wedding in Arkansas can be exactly what you imagine.

Family Reunions

Family reunions have long found a natural home in Arkansas State Parks, where generations come together in settings designed for connection and comfort. Gathering away from everyday distractions makes it easier to reconnect, without giving up modern, well-equipped facilities. With parks located across the state, it’s easy to find a destination that feels just right for your group.

From open-air and enclosed pavilions to climate-controlled spaces, parks offer flexible venues for both indoor and outdoor gatherings. When the day winds down, families can settle into cabins, lodges or campsites, with meeting rooms and conference centers available for larger celebrations or special events.

There’s no shortage of ways to keep everyone entertained. Enjoy golf, concerts, guided programs, boating, swimming, hiking and biking trails, ropes courses, horseback riding and more. Prefer a lake resort with nearby attractions and lodging options that keep kids, friends and extended family happy? You’ll find that here too.

Connect directly with a park to explore available packages and special offers, then choose your location and start planning a reunion your family will want to repeat year after year.
