AR designates 1/8 of 1% of the state sales tax as "Conservation". 45% goes to game and fish. 45% goes to state parks and the other 10% goes to heritage and keep AR beautiful.

AR also has lots of Corp of Engineer facilities.

AR draws a lot of outdoor tourists from DFW, OK City and Tulsa, Kansas Cities, St Louis and Chicago, Memphis, LA and MS.

They draw a lot of trout fishermen, duck hunters, and white water boaters.

I’ve done presentations at the DeGray Lake State Park Lodge and the lodge at Mount Magazine; both beautiful facilities in beautiful Arkansas settings.
