Forrest City is not a misleading name for this Arkansas town. The city is near Village State Park which is a forest in itself. With 7,000 acres of woodlands, lakes, streams, and places to camp, Village State Park has five park trails so you can explore the forest on your own or on a guided trail walk with a park interpreter. The land that makes up the state’s second largest state park is truly unique as Crowley’s Ridge is a landform of rolling hills covered with an unsurpassed mix of unique flora. Lake Austell and Lake Dunn, within the park, are great to please the angler in you or enjoy a day on a boat. For fun on land, take a horseback ride through 25 miles of multi-use trails that wind through the hills of Crowley’s Ridge. By now, you will have noticed that Crowley’s Ridge is a major part of this city. The Crowley’s Ridge National Scenic Byway will attest to the city’s beauty as it passes through Forrest City along the delta and through other Arkansas towns. Downtown Forrest city is just as vibrant as the city’s scenic beauty. The St. Francis County Museum located in downtown is filled with memorabilia from the past, including pre-historic artifacts found in the area.
