Oklahoma State Parks
A geocache permit is required for all Arkansas State Parks. The permits are issued locally at each state park office or visitor's center. The permit number should be added to the Description section of the cache listing (example: This cache was placed with permission of Petit Jean State Park, Permit No. PT-22). Permit numbers are uniquely assigned by each state park. A list of Arkansas' 52 state parks may be found at the Arkansas State Parks home page. Information on geocaching within the state parks, including a link to the state park geocaching policy may be found on this state park web page.
While most state parks allow the public to place geocaches within the park boundaries, geocaches may only be placed by authorized park staff at these 11 state parks:
- Conway Cemetery State Park
- Herman Davis State Park
- Jenkins' Ferry State Park
- Lake Fort Smith State Park
- Louisiana Purchase State Park
- Marks' Mills State Park
- Mississippi River State Park
- Parkin Archeological State Park
- Poison Spring State Park
- Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park
- Red River Campaign
- South Arkansas Arboretum
- Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park
Ouachita National Forest
A geocache permit is required for placing a cache within the boundaries of the Ouachita National Forest. The permits are issued locally at the district offices within the National Forest. The permit number should be added to the Description section of the cache listing (example: This cache was placed with permission of Ouachita National Forest, Permit No. xx). Permit numbers are uniquely assigned by each district office. There are many "islands" of private property with the National Forest, so there may be locations within the forest boundaries where a permit is not required. The cache owner must provide this information, however.
