Every state has its own unique quirks, and Arkansas is no different. We’ve talked before about weird things Arkansans do and ways you know you fit in in Arkansas, but we also need to talk about the things Arkansans do that seem totally nuts to anyone who is not from Arkansas. Below you’ll find thirteen things Arkansans do that really set us apart from the herd. We’re unique, and awesome, and here are 13 weird things people from Arkansas do that the other states just don’t understand.
- Help anyone, at any time.

weird things people from Arkansas do May 26, 2020 Jackie Ann Is Arkansas a great place to live? Over 3 million people call Arkansas home, and they would tell you Arkansas is a great place to live. From the mountain ranges of the Ozarks to the oxbow lakes in the Lower Delta, Arkansas is a nature lover’s paradise. If you prefer city life, Little Rock, Fayetteville, and Hot Springs all are wonderful options to live, but there’s something special about the smaller towns in Arkansas like Cave Springs, Greenwood, and Morrilton. No matter what part of the state you live in, there’s ample opportunity. What are the most beautiful places in Arkansas? Arkansas is nicknamed the “Natural State,” and visitors to Arkansas can expect to be surrounded by some of the most beautiful natural landscape in the country. The mountain ranges in the Ozarks offer some of the best views of the state, while Hot Springs is perfect for anyone looking to savor the history of a charming spa town. And finally, the Blanchard Springs Caverns in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest is an extraordinarily beautiful place with a history that dates back over 350 million years. Where should I go to take photos of Arkansas? Luckily, the Natural State is full of beautiful scenery that any photographer would love. No matter what type of scenery you’re looking for, you’ll find it here in Arkansas. For sweeping mountain views, visit the Yellow Rock Trail in Devils Den State Park or the White Rock Rim Trail around White Rock Mountain. Blackstar Canyon Falls at the bottom of Saddleback Mountain is another picture-perfect setting, and the sunsets from either Lake Conway or Lake Hamilton are always a photographer’s dream shot.
