The South Arkansas Arboretum has an aggregate rating of 4.6 out of 5, based on 258 reviews. Reviewers describe the park as a nice, pretty, and beautiful little park with scenic walkways, flowers, and trees. Several visitors note the park is well kept and the bathrooms are clean. One reviewer mentions many butterflies and a geocache on the grounds, while another mentions the trees are calming. A visitor who came after the winter storms of 2021 said it was still worth visiting and hiking, though they noted frequent vehicle traffic along nearby roads detracted from the nature experience. However, several reviews mention issues. One reviewer notes the posted walking trails (0.8 miles and 0.2 miles) meander, and another says the trail is uneven and needs repairs. Some reviewers mention that paved walkways are covered with moss, creating a slippery safety hazard, and that some named trees and shrubs are dead. One reviewer says the paths are in rough shape in some places with limbs hanging in the walkways, which could be difficult for someone with a mobility or limited vision disability. Another review states that a visitor drove over 4 hours to visit, arrived at 8am, and found the gate locked despite posted hours of 8-7, waiting 30 minutes with no one coming to open it. One reviewer reports feeling harassed about the park's closing time. A local reviewer says it is worth going to if you are local, but they would not make a special trip.

Nice little state park. If you're local, it's worth going to. I wouldn't make a special trip. There are 2 posted walking trails. One is .8 miles and the other is .2 miles. They meander throughout, so it's not like 1 continuous path, so you …

We drove over 4 hours to do all the state parks in the lower half of Arkansas. Showed up at 8am and the gate was locked. Says all over the gate that the hours are 8-7. We waited 30 minutes with no one coming to open it. Called every number …

The trail needs repairs. Was a little uneven. No butterflies visible at this time. Bees were out, which is a good sign.

I visited the South Arkansas Arboretum a week after the winter storms of 2021, but it was still worth visiting and hiking. The trees are calming, but there is frequent vehicle traffic along the roads nearby, which took from the nature experience.

Made the drive from Little Rock and enjoyed the paved stroll. The paths seem well kept and updated. If I lived closer, I would visit often!
