I abs loved our trip recently to Fort Parker and my family, all had fun and we each had things to do ,that we all enjoyed from canoe ride to nature trail. Fishing and the kids seeing the animals and the cookouts,, was great,then seeing the old conf reunion ground was a real education for all of us, as a teacher I def. want to plan a trip soon to let students experience some of the neat history .An absolute place to go anytime of the year, as we have gone to the fort even at Christmas time, and we drive two and a half hours and we still go back a weekend or a week,,great place, perfect price for the family!
I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE PARK AND THE PARK EMPLOYEES.I AM AN OLDER PERSON AND THEY WERE VERY KIND TO ME AND MY CARE TAKER.WE HAD SPOT #20 AND IT WAS A GREAT SPOT FOR OUR R.V.we will be going there again. Our Family Reunion is held there every year and we ALL have a great time! Cannot wait for this year! Our family has a our reunion at this park every year called the ECHOLS-HENDERSON REUNION and Friends. There is lots to do for everyone of all interests. Swimming, hiking, biking, fishing, cookouts, bird watching, the Fort is not far away, amazing to see. Then we find time to mingle with the kinfolks and talk and gather photos & memorabilia of the past and present. Great place to hold a reunion for the day or a weekend. I have been camping at Fort Parker since I was 2 or 3, My mother and her mother before her, I will be taking my Grandchildren this Spring. It has been a family tradition since it opened. So much to do and see. The old fort is a must. I hope I can still find the old creek springs on the way to the fort that my mother showed me as a child. We would always takes tons of cousins and neighborhood friends with us when we went. What a wonderful childhood memory. I wonder if the island is still there???? green and lush-lots of animals
