Russellville, AR Real Estate, Homes For Sale, School & Area Information

I am a lucky lady to have such beautiful and serene areas so close to home. Moving from Texas, which is beautiful in its own way, to Arizona, I am blown away by the scenery on a daily basis. Moccasin Gap is no exception. It has an extensive trail system rated for your level of expertise or comfort, as well as a camping area (RV and horse trailer) and a day-use parking area. The trail system here is well-marked and well-maintained. I personally trail ride, but ORV's are also allowed. The views and overlooks are stunning with water crossings and waterfalls as well! I cannot wait to go back!

Hummingbirds are more active during the month of August, their antics, speed and quick easy grace keep us all mesmerized.

Arkansas offers a wealth of entertainment opportunities from outdoor to on stage. I'm blessed to live in West Central Arkansas.

I've included a link to Arkansas' website with tons more details for you to explore.

Summer flower's in Arkansas are so beautiful and so easy to grow. Once you discover the flowers that do best in our climate zone and surroundings, nothing can stop them from giving their colorful "blooming" best. Our climate plus humidity is ideal for plants and trees.

Even the Arkansas Highway Department has started seeding flowers along its many miles of highways in a successful effort to beautify our state.

Arkansas is known as "The Natural State" and features 600 different types of wildflowers.

This practice helps the state with roadside maintenance and adds to the beauty of Arkansas. Just driving through the state, you can view over 1,000 miles of highway that have become part of this program that has created "Wildflower Routes" throughout the state. Residents and visitors can enjoy viewing the flowers every year.
