7. Arkansas
The main reason why you should visit Arkansas is its incredible outdoors. Bordering the Mississippi River, the state is well known for its wilderness areas, mountains, caves, rivers and hot springs. Here you’ll see America’s first national river, the Buffalo which flows 135 miles through an incredible section of the Ozark Mountains.
Best things to do in Arkansas: Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum, Mount Magazine State Park, a church made almost entirely of organic materials, Thorncrown Chapel, and, of course, Hot Springs National Park are spots you must visit while enjoying “The Natural State.”
