Spring is the perfect time to be outdoors and explore all the family-friendly attractions Jacksonville has to offer. Whether your spending the afternoon shooting skeet at the Arkansas Game & Fish Shooting Sports Complex or cooling off at the Splash Zone Water Park, Jacksonville truly has something for everyone in the family.

Spring is a great time to get outside and explore the outdoors. Thankfully we live in the Natural State where the beautiful outdoors is all around us. There are so many activities for families to do in Jacksonville: ride a bike, walk a trail or explore one of the 12 parks in the area.

One activity you might be overlooking is canoeing. Arkansas has many miles of rivers, streams and bayous. Most of these waterways are perfect for floating and paddling sports are among the fastest growing recreational activities in the United States.
