Village Creek State Park, State park in Wynne, Arkansas, US.
Village Creek State Park extends across 7,000 acres of forested hills and streams, featuring 33 miles of trails through the natural landscape.
The park contains a preserved segment of the Trail of Tears, where Native American tribes traveled during their forced relocation in the 1830s.
William Strong's store within the park boundaries served as a ration depot for Native American removal parties, marking a significant period in American history.
The park provides 10 furnished cabins with kitchens, satellite television, and complete linens, alongside multiple campground options with bathhouse facilities.
The Ridges at Village Creek, a 27-hole championship golf course designed by Andy Dye, received recognition as Arkansas's top public golf course in 2018.

Arkansas sits in the southern United States, where the Ozark and Ouachita mountains meet forested valleys and slow rivers. Away from the main highways, the state holds waterfalls hidden in national forests, abandoned settlements from mining days, and caves filled with limestone formations. Haw Creek Falls drops over a series of ledges in the Ozarks, while Blanchard Springs Caverns opens into chambers where underground streams have carved stone over thousands of years. Rush, once a zinc mining town, now stands empty along the Buffalo River. Boxley Valley offers open fields where elk graze beneath ridges, and the Cossatot River cuts through rocky rapids in the Ouachita range. These places show different chapters of the region's natural and human history. Historical sites and cultural centers add depth to the landscape. Monte Ne preserves the ruins of an early resort built beside Beaver Lake. The Hampson Archeological Museum holds artifacts from indigenous peoples who lived in the Mississippi River floodplain. Jacksonport once served as a river port on the White River, and the Delta Cultural Center documents the agricultural heritage of eastern Arkansas. From Sam's Throne, a rock outcrop with views across the Ozarks, to the old railway bridge in Clarendon, these locations lie off the usual routes and reward those who take the time to seek them out.
