HOLLOWAY MEMORIAL STATE PARK
HOLLOWAY MEMORIAL STATE PARK
Holloway Memorial State Park is a serene, natural haven that offers visitors an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The park features lush greenery, diverse wildlife species, hiking trails for all skill levels and picnic areas perfect for family gatherings or quiet reflection. It's also home to Holloway Lake where fishing enthusiasts can cast their lines hoping to catch bass or catfish while birdwatchers might spot herons or kingfishers nearby. This tranquil setting provides opportunities for outdoor activities such as camping under starlit skies making it ideal not only during daytime but after sunset too.

History of the Area
Located in Arkansas, the park was established to honor Dr. Neil Compton who saved Buffalo River from damming projects. Named after his friend and fellow conservationist Joe Marsh Holloway, it opened in 1987 as a state nature preserve.

The area is known for its diverse flora and fauna due to its unique microclimate created by limestone bluffs along Lee Creek Valley's edge. It features several hiking trails that offer stunning views of surrounding landscapes.
