Wooly Hollow State Park

Have you ever been to Wooly Hollow? If you go North on Hwy 65 from Conway, go thru Greenbrier. As you continue North you'll see the familiar yellow and brown State Park sign on the right side of the road. Its shortly before the Hwy 25 turnoff to Quitman and Heber Springs.
Wooly hollow has a nice lake with a swimming area, boat rentals (no gas motors allowed),camping spots for tent and RV's with full hookups(with the cleanest restrooms I've ever seen in a Public Park), and a fast food place. I really like this park, it's shaded and its quiet. I wouldnt want to stay there in the heat of the summer with no A/C but Spring and Fall is nice.

The old Wooly homestead at the park.



This new old looking cabin is on the left going towards Wooly Hollow.

Like to play golf? Watch closely or you'll miss the sign, its on the left going towards the park. The last time I was there the sign was partially covered in bushes. Watch for a long straight road up to the ridge top. Hence the name, Persimmon Ridge Golf Course.
I went over the course with a borrowed golf cart but havent been back to play it, I liked the looks of it in the valley.
