Sam's Throne, Protected natural area in Mount Judea, Arkansas, United States.
The sandstone cliffs of Sam's Throne rise 75 feet above the Big Creek valley, creating multiple rock faces suitable for climbing activities.
Local climbers established the first routes at Sam's Throne during the late 1970s, transforming this natural formation into a regional climbing center.
The recreation area serves as a gathering point for rock climbing communities who share techniques and develop new routes throughout the sandstone formations.
The six primitive camping sites require visitors to bring their own water supply, as the area offers only basic facilities with vault toilets.
The Atoka sandstone formations contain natural pockets, knobs, and crack systems that provide over fifty different climbing routes for various skill levels.
