Petit Jean State Park, State park in Conway County, United States.
Located atop Petit Jean Mountain along the Arkansas River, this 3,471-acre park contains dense forests, rock formations, and a 95-foot waterfall named Cedar Falls.
Established in 1923 as Arkansas's first state park after the National Park Service determined the area was too small for national park designation.
The park derives its name from a French girl who disguised herself as a cabin boy to follow her lover on an expedition across the Atlantic Ocean.
The park maintains 32 rental cabins, 127 campsites, hiking trails, fishing areas, and the Mather Lodge with 24 guest rooms overlooking a forested canyon.
The Seven Hollows Trail leads visitors through multiple natural stone arches and unusual geological formations created by water erosion over millions of years.
