Overview

A quick getaway destination for those wanting to breathe in fresh mountain air and escape from big city living. This wonderful small town is nestled in the beautiful Ouachita Mountains of Western Arkansas and blessed with copious outdoor adventure opportunities. Imagine Norman Rockwell scenic nostalgia combined with a blossoming artistic community all centered around historic Mena's downtown revitalization.

Fishing, hunting, class four rapid kayaking, canoeing, hiking, mountain biking, camping, ATV riding, live theater, live local music, art gallery, restaurants, antiquing, car shows, motorcycle rallies and touring, and a booming Bed & Breakfast community.

Don't miss the annual Lum and Abner festival in June or the festive Christmas lighting and fireworks display the first weekend in December.
