Located on the edge of town is the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park which celebrates the Civil War era Battle of Prairie Grove. The Park has a headquarters building with historical displays and maps as well as period outlying buildings. The park area provides delightful walks, beautiful scenery 12 months of the year, and a reenactment of the battle every other year. On Labor Day, the park hosts tens of thousands of visitors the annual Clothesline Fair, one of the top arts and crafts venues in the South. Within 3 miles of the city limits there are 2 fishing lakes. Prairie Grove Lake, 3 miles to the south, is a small lake restricted to boats with no motors. It supplies much of the city's drinking water and some good crappie fishing. Three miles to the west is Bob Kidd Reservoir (map), home to a Bass Fishing Club and some very nice size bass. Prairie Grove also sits in the middle of good hunting country. There are several seasons each year such as bow, black powder and modern gun. About 20 miles to the south is Devil's Den State Park featuring a small lake, canoeing, fishing and some of the most beautiful walking trails you will find anywhere in the country.
