Poteau Ouachita National Forest Work Center
Park Overview
The Poteau Ouachita National Forest Work Center is a facility within the expansive Ouachita National Forest, which spans 1.8 million acres. As a work center, it serves as a hub for forest management activities, rather than a traditional recreational park. It supports the maintenance and conservation efforts essential to the health and sustainability of the forest.
Established in 1907, the Ouachita National Forest is one of the oldest national forests in the southern region. The work center itself does not have a specific "opening" date as it is an operational facility, but it is part of the larger forest's long-standing history. The main features of the surrounding area include picturesque vistas, extensive hiking trails, and diverse wildlife, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the natural beauty and tranquility of the forested landscape.
