In Morrilton, Petit Jean State Park is the flagship of the state parks system. The park encompasses 2,658 acres of rare natural beauty—an abundance of unmarred woods, ravines, streams, springs, spectacular views and interesting ecological formations preserved almost as French explorers found them 300 years ago. In addition to cabins and the park's Mather Lodge, it has a restaurant, swimming pools, campsites, boating, fishing, several hiking trails and the spectacular 95-foot Cedar Falls.;
