Queen Wilhelmina State Park offers some of the most breathtaking views in the state from its fully renovated lodge. Known as the original “Castle in the Sky,” originally built in 1898, the lodge is situated on the 2,681-foot Rich Mountain—Arkansas' second highest peak. The original lodge was built in the late 1800s as a Victorian resort named Wilhelmina Inn to honor the young Queen of the Netherlands, after Dutch investors helped fund the construction of the railroad system.
The park includes 41 campsites, including five tent sites with water, one hike-in tent site, picnic areas, and several short hiking trails, and the lodge features 40 rooms, a restaurant featuring Southern cuisine, and a gift shop. Dogs are welcome except in the restaurant and the large hearth room.
