The Pea Ridge National Military Park is a 4,300 acre park located in Northwest Arkansas. The park honors and commemorates the 26,000 soldiers who fought here on March 7 & 8, 1862.
The park is easily accessible by car and the entrance is about 30 minutes from Interstate 540 (Exit 86 and travel east via U.S. Hwy 62) and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. year round (except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day.) A $3.00 permit is required for visitors over the age of 15 who walk or ride a bicycle into the park. The $5.00 per vehicle permit is for all non-commercial visitors.
