Three Great Places to Visit from Northwest Arkansas While You're Social Distancing
The coronavirus epidemic has meant big changes for America at all levels of society. We're all doing our part to slow the spread of the virus and help protect our frontline healthcare workers, first-responders and those who are medically vulnerable to the disease. While it's the responsible thing to do, staying in the house and practicing strict social distancing can get a little stale after a while, necessitating a dose of sunshine and a little no-contact road trip. With springtime busting out just beyond the windows and gas prices at historic lows, now is a great time to pack a picnic lunch, put some drinks and a little ice in the cooler, and head out to enjoy some of the vast, light-on-people spaces that Northwest Arkansas has in abundance. Seen below, check out our suggestions for three great places to visit in Northwest Arkansas when you're looking for a trip to clear your head and get away from home for a while.

Devil's Den State Park
Near Chester, Arkansas
One of Arkansas's oldest State Parks, the 2,500-acre Devil's Den State Park in Washington County was born during another tumultuous moment in American history, with hundreds of young men with the Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps, or CCC, carving the park out of what was then trackless wilderness beginning in 1933. The gift those brave Americans left behind can still be enjoyed today, and it's a great place to get away from it all (and everyone else) while you're social distancing. Situated in Lee Creek Valley in the heart of the Boston Mountains, the park features an eight-acre lake that was created by the CCC, as well as a network of trails for hiking and mountain bike riding. Lee Creek flows through the park, and fossils of prehistoric plants and animals can often be found along its rocky banks. For even more adventure, check out the park's many caves, bluffs and rocky overhangs, which have provided shelter over the years for everyone from Native American tribes to Old West bandit gangs to Civil War soldiers.
