Traveler Guide to Paris, AR
Paris is the seat of Logan County in the Ouachitas region of Arkansas. While possibly a little provincial and unremarkable in itself, it is a good staging point for visiting the Ouachita Mountains, particularly the tallest point in Arkansas, Mt. Magazine.
1 Eiffel Tower Park-Paris, 12 N Express St. In line with the town's namesake of Paris, France, a replica of the Eiffel Tower stands here in the downtown sector, though definitely not as tall as the real thing or even the replica in Paris, Tennessee. (updated Oct 2021) 2 Logan County "Old Jail" Museum, 202 N Vine St, ☏ +1 479 963-3936. Here is a local museum that is distinctive in being located in the city's jail and even more so that it has the town's former gallows on display. (updated Oct 2021)
1 Cove Lake Recreation Area, 19 Cove Lake Loop, ☏ +1 479 963-6421. Opportunities for boating and swimming. (updated Oct 2021) 2 Mt. Magazine Scenic Byway. This highway, AR 309, is a nice Ouachita driving sampler, extending from Paris to Havana (the Arkansas municipalities, not the world capitals, mind you!). (updated Oct 2021) 3 Mount Magazine State Park, 577 Lodge Dr, ☏ +1 479 963-8502. Here feel the liberation as you ascend to Arkansas' highest point at 2753 feet, or try one of a number of hiking or biking trails or maybe even hang glide. Also be on the lookout for fauna such as bobcat, black bear, or Diana fritillary, the state butterfly. (updated Oct 2021)
The Skycrest Restaurant, 577 Lodge Dr (inside The Lodge at Mount Magazine), ☏ +1 479 963-8502. Daily 7AM-8PM. Probably a bit overpriced for the buffet-style food, but, hey, you're paying for the view. (updated Oct 2021)
Try the campground at the aforementioned Cove Lake Recreation Area or Mount Magazine State Park, for a superb chance to commune with nature, or the Lodge At Mount Magazine within the park for a more upscale experience.
