See a mixture of plant communities and an array of wildlife along Crowley's Ridge Parkway. Dramatic views abound along the ridge and hills where wildflowers proliferate throughout spring, summer and fall. Stop at Cache River National Wildlife Refuge for some spectacular wildlife watching. Catch a glimpse of the elusive endangered Ivory-billed Woodpecker, as well as seasonal waterfowl, wading birds, and songbirds. See deer, coyote, and raccoon year-round. Don't miss the White River National Wildlife Refuge, the largest tract of bottomland hardwoods in the state. Its 350 lakes teem with bass and panfish and attract several species of ducks, wading birds, and woodpeckers throughout the year. Keep your eyes peeled for Bald Eagle nests, and watch out for Black Bears.
