Outdoor Vista

 

 

Fort Pickens Campground is situated on Santa Rosa Island, a part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore south of Pensacola and Gulf Breeze, Florida. Visitors are drawn to the Gulf of America for Gulf Islands National Seashore's emerald coast waters, magnificent white beaches, fertile marshes and historical landscapes. Each camp site offers a fire pit, picnic table, and a paved pad to park on. There are heated showers and flush toilets. The campground offers electric and non-electric sites. Many of the sites have restrictions from low limbs or bushes and pad length so be sure you will fit.  The Blue Angels practice most Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10:30am. Great viewing by the fort.

The Hawksbill Crag, also known as Whitaker Point, is located along the northern edge of th e  Upper Buffalo Wilderness in the Ozark National Forest, just south of the Buffalo National River. It is easily one of the most photograped and recognizable features in Arkansas, and is often seen on publications depicting the outdoors in Arkansas. The hike to it is an easy 3.0 mile round trip, and offers scenic vistas, huge boulders, beautiful waterfalls and colorful wildflowers.
