Devil’s Den State Park is a best state park for young Arkansans since it’s filled with dragon caves, troll bridges, enchanted forests, and other fairy tale inspiration. Let’s use a bit of imagination and take a stroll through this whimsical state park.
Devil’s Den State Park could easily have been taken out of a fairy tale.

…they’re a great place to learn about fantastic beasts and where to find them.
