Remember To Register At The Visitors' Center

Welcome to Mt. Magazine, the highest point in Arkansas and one of the finest crags in the area.  Rising to 2,753 feet, Mt. Magazine looms over the Arkansas and Petit Jean River valleys.

Technical rock climbing and repelling on Mt. Magazine are permitted only on the south-facing bluff below the lodge.  According to  by Kerry Allen (Short Stone Press, N. Little Rock, 1996), there are 90 established routs ranging from 5.5 to 5.12c.  The rock is Savanna Sandstone of high quality.

There is one Hang Glider launch point.  It is situated on the south face of Mt. Magazine, just east of the lodge site.
