How to get to Davidsonville Historic State Park
The park sits about 10 miles southwest of Pocahontas, Arkansas, roughly a 20-minute drive on state and county roads. Jonesboro is about 60 miles south (around 1 hour 15 minutes), Little Rock is roughly 150 miles southwest (about 2.5 to 3 hours), and Memphis is approximately 160 miles east (around 3 hours). Rural approach roads are paved but narrow in places with tight turns and a few low-clearance rural bridges, so large RVs should plan routes carefully. The nearest commercial airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Jonesboro Municipal, with larger options at Memphis International and Little Rock's Clinton National.
