<span class="mw-page-title-main">Arkansas Timberlands</span> Region of U.S. state of Arkansas

The Arkansas Timberlands is a region of the U.S. state of Arkansas generally encompassing the area south of the Ouachita Mountains, south of Central Arkansas and west of the Arkansas Delta. With several different definitions in use by various state agencies, the Arkansas Timberlands is essentially a region known for dense pine and cypress forests covering hilly terrain and lining numerous rivers. Modern settlement created a significant logging industry and subsequent clearance agriculture which provided the basis of the local economy until the discovery of petroleum. Local tourism is largely based on the popularity of deer hunting and bass fishing. Attractions there include Marks' Mills Battleground Historical Monument, Jenkins' Ferry Battleground Historical Monument, Overflow National Wildlife Refuge, Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge, South Arkansas Arboretum, Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources, White Oak Lake State Park, Poison Springs Battleground State Park, Millwood State Park, and Pond Creek National Wildlife Refuge. The Arkansas Timberlands is the birthplace of former President of the United States Bill Clinton.

The Moro Bay ferry is a historic ferry site at Moro Bay State Park in southwestern Bradley County, Arkansas. A ferry operated across the Ouachita River at this site from 1828 until 1948, and then again from 1965 to 1992, providing a major crossing point of the river in the immediate region. The towboat and barge used by the 1965-1992 ferry service are now set up as a display in the state park, with historically appropriate signage to its ferry slip. Because the area is prone to flooding, the boats are installed in a way that they will float when flooded. The boats were built in 1948 by the Barbour Metal Boat Works of St. Louis, and were probably the last ferry boats built for public service in the state.
