Paragould, Arkansas Motels

Nine miles west of Paragould, Arkansas, is a geographical marvel that extends from Cape Girardeau, Missouri to Helena, Arkansas, called Crowley's Ridge, "formed when two ancient river systems, the Mississippi and Ohio cut vast trenches across the plains of eastern Arkansas," according to Arkansas State Parks. The area once occupied by the Quapaw Indians is home to four state parks: Crowley's Ridge, Lake Frierson, Lake Poinsett Park and Village Creek. Hike your heart out here on Lake Ponder, Spider Creek, Walcott Lake and Dancing Rabbit trails; or enjoy swimming and fishing in lakes fed by natural springs. Contemplate your day and have a restful night's sleep at one of the lodging options available in Paragould.
