Mena, Arkansas is a proud little community nestled in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains. We are a town that is largely a result of the railroad industry boom at the turn of the 20th century.
Many people travel from far and wide to enjoy the “get-away appeal” of our area. For a grand experience you can stay at Queen Whilhelmina Lodge at the top of Rich Mountain. Many avid canoers and kayakers travel just south of Mena to the Cossatot River for some of the finest floating available in the state. In addition, the Ouachita River is an excellent source of entertainment for fishers and floaters alike. Take in nature up close with the popular All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) at Wolf Pen Gap ATV Trails. This trail offers 41 miles of loop trails that feature high mountain vistas, a unique 2 foot tall oak tree and an abandoned mine shaft. The trails are connected to accommodate riders who want to vary the length of their trips. Trails range from easy to most difficult. The area offers numerous crystal clear streams and great camping opportunities, and there are private facilities for rides and guide services and rentals available too!
