Queen Wilhelmina State Park, Mountain state park in Polk County, Arkansas
Situated at 2681 feet on Rich Mountain, Queen Wilhelmina State Park includes a modern lodge with 40 rooms and spans across forested mountainous terrain.
The Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad built the first lodge in 1898, naming it after Queen Wilhelmina of Netherlands to attract Dutch investors.
The Queen's Restaurant within the lodge serves traditional Southern dishes while the Queen's Treasury shop offers regional crafts and memorabilia.
The park maintains 41 campsites, multiple hiking trails connecting to the Ouachita National Recreation Trail, and a conference room for up to 55 people.
Three different lodges have occupied this mountaintop location since 1898, with each construction maintaining the royal Dutch connection in its architecture.
