Ashley County, Arkansas
Down in Arkansas’s southeast corner, Ashley County is all about timber and tomatoes. Hamburg, the county seat, hosts a killer Armadillo Festival every spring. Because why not?
Ashley County has more trees than people, with vast stretches of pine forests managed for lumber. Crossett, the biggest town, grew up around a massive paper mill that still dominates the skyline. You can’t miss the smell.
The Overflow National Wildlife Refuge is a paradise for bird watchers, especially if you’re into waterfowl. If you’re into fishing, you’re in luck. The Saline River and Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge offer some prime spots to cast a line.
