The Crater of Diamonds State Park one of Many in Arkansas.

One of my favorite State Parks in Arkansas is Crater of Diamonds State Park where visitors can search for diamonds themselves and keep what they find like the Star of Kimberly Diamondshown below.

That's right! Besides camping, biking, hiking, boating, fishing, and sight seeing, visitors to Arkansas State Parks can search for diamonds and keep what they find.
